US equity markets advanced, shrugging off stronger-than-expected wholesale inflation data and with investors’ focus now turning to the latest consumer price inflation figures tonight AEST - Dow rose +127-points or +0.32%. Boeing Co rose +1.30% despite delivering fewer jets in April amid quality problems that forced a slowdown in production.

In April 2023, Boeing delivered 26 jets, including 17 MAX jets. Thus far in 2024, Boeing has delivered 107 jets, including 82 MAX jets.
