Stocks Recover After Fed Rate Hike Concerns; Boeing Faces Production Delays
On Thursday, stocks rebounded after a previous session marked by Federal Reserve-driven declines. The S&P 500 rose over 1%, and the Nasdaq gained more than 1.6%. Lower oil prices and bond yields supported this rally. Analysts noted that concerns about potential additional rate hikes contributed to Wednesday's sell-off, but predicting future moves remains uncertain due to inflation volatility tied to energy costs. Club portfolio stocks Intel (INTC) and Micron Technology (MU) surged nearly 10% and over 5%, respectively. Despite reports of AI model issues from OpenAI, the broader data center infrastructure trade remained resilient. A temporary pause on new applications in Loudoun County could help companies like GE Vernova (GEV) manage supply constraints. Boeing shares continued to decline after citing delays in stabilizing its 737 Max production and lower-than-expected free cash flow guidance. The company attributed the issues to wing manufacturing challenges but said a solution is underway.
