Delta Air Lines warning and Red Sea attacks impact industrial sector
- Shares of industrial and transportation companies fell after Delta Air Lines growth warning
- Producer price index fell 0.1% from a month earlier
- Aerospace sub-sector facing challenges after Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX jet malfunction
- Federal air-safety regulators increasing inspections of Boeing’s factories
- Tesla halting production in Germany due to lack of parts from Red Sea attacks
Shares of industrial and transportation companies took a hit following a growth warning from Delta Air Lines and mixed wholesale inflation data. The producer price index, which tracks wholesale price trends, fell 0.1% from the previous month. The aerospace sub-sector has been facing challenges since an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX jet experienced a mid-air malfunction. In response, federal air-safety regulators have announced increased inspections of Boeing’s factories. Additionally, Tesla has announced a two-week halt in production at its German factory due to a lack of parts caused by attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
