Battered travel-related stocks, including Carnival Corp, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd, American Airlines Group Inc and United Airlines Holdings Inc dropped more than 2% each.

Marriott International Inc shed 1.8% as its quarterly profit fell short of already drastically lowered expectations, as bookings plunged.
