Why Marriott, Avis, and Azul Stocks Dropped Today

Stocks tied to the travel industry got trounced in early trading Monday and remained down as of 12:20 p.m. EDT. Currently, shares of hotel chain Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR) are down 2.5%, and the stock of car rental company Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ: CAR) is off 2.2%. In the realm of airlines, Brazilian airline Azul S.A. (NYSE: AZUL) is falling a whopping 8.8%.
