Boeing Stock Soars with FAA Easing Restrictions Discover Why It Could Climb Even More
S&P 500 Inches Higher Amid Inflation Data Insights
Inflation Figures Stir Market Movement
In early trading on Friday, the S&P 500 index increased by 0.2% following the release of key inflation data. The personal consumption expenditures price index for August, regarded as the Federal Reserve’s favored inflation measure, showed core inflation aligning with economists’ projections. While the report didn’t astonish markets, it was sufficient to encourage investors back after a series of market declines, aiming to end a three-day losing streak.
Boeing Stock Soars After FAA Announcement
Boeing stocks surged nearly 4% on Friday, propelled by the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) decision to relax restrictions on aircraft deliveries. This move grants Boeing the power to conduct final safety checks on its 737 Max jets independently, accelerating its manufacturing and delivery timeline. This development is expected to enhance Boeing’s free cash flow, a crucial financial metric for El-Balad’s evaluation of stocks. Jeff Marks, the El-Balad’s director of portfolio analysis, expressed optimism, noting, “This is what we’ve been waiting for.” Boeing’s inclusion to the portfolio early in September appears promising, with potential for further growth.
Eli Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb Benefit from Tariff Exemptions
El-Balad holdings Eli Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb received positive news regarding newly announced tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry. The recent announcement details a 100% tariff rate on all branded and patented pharmaceutical products entering the U.S. starting next month. However, companies investing in U.S.-based drug manufacturing plants, like Eli Lilly and Bristol-Myers Squibb, will be exempt. As a result, shares of both companies experienced slight increases on Friday.
