Boeing beats Airbus to mega Delta order

Published

on

It’s been a rough decade for Boeing, and especially for the 737 MAX, but now Delta has secured a massive order

At the Farnborough airshow, there’s been some bright news for the struggling US plane maker.

  • Order for 100 737-10 aircraft with option for 30 more 
  • Narrowbody jet provides world-class customer experience
  • Fuel-efficient planes help power Delta’s sustainability goals 

In what was the worst kept secret in the aviation industry in recent weeks, Boeing has now confirmed a massive new order from Delta Airlines, and it’s for the 737 MAX.

The deal is worth about 13 billion dollars, and Delta has the option to buy another 30.

Airbus has been circling Delta, trying to sell them more A220s. But in the end, Boeing won out, in positive news for the beleagured company.

Until now, Delta was the only US airline without a MAX in its fleet or on order.

The MAX was grounded for 20 months following two fatal crashes, and there was a time when aviation analysts expected the plane may never fly again. 

But now here we are with this massive new order.

ALSO – American Airlines is set to order more Boeing 737 MAX jets for its domestic fleet 

Delta is ordering the largest model in the MAX family, the 737-10, which will begin delivery in 2025. It will be powered by the next-generation LEAP-1B engines manufactured by CFM International, a company jointly owned by GE and Safran Aircraft Engines.

The aircraft will be 20%-30% more fuel efficient than the retiring Delta planes it will replace.

“The Boeing 737-10 will be an important addition to Delta’s fleet as we shape a more sustainable future for air travel, with an elevated customer experience, improved fuel efficiency and best-in-class performance,”

Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer

“These new aircraft provide superior operating economics and network flexibility, and the agreement reflects our prudent approach to deploying our capital.”

U.S. shares rebound over 2.5% amid tariff optimism, despite economic warnings and mixed global market performance.

U.S. shares rebound over 2.5% amid tariff optimism, despite economic warnings and mixed global market performance.

In Short

U.S. shares rebounded significantly due to optimism over tariff negotiations, with major indexes rising over 2.5%. However, companies continue to face challenges from tariffs and uncertainty in the market, leading to mixed results overseas.

U.S. shares saw a significant rebound on Tuesday, with major indexes increasing by over 2.5%.

This recovery was influenced by optimism regarding tariff negotiations, as noted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who expressed confidence in a potential de-escalation of the trade war with China.

Despite this positive sentiment, companies are still grappling with the effects of the Trump administration’s tariffs.

Defense contractor RTX announced an anticipated $850 million financial impact, and Kimberly-Clark cited a “global geopolitical landscape” for a lowered profit outlook.

Economic forecasts

The International Monetary Fund has revised its economic forecasts for the U.S. and globally, highlighting tariffs as a factor in slower growth.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon indicated that high levels of uncertainty are hindering corporate decisions and impacting asset prices, and the Institute of International Finance warned of a probable U.S. recession later this year.

Gold prices have fluctuated, retreating after reaching a record high on Tuesday, reinforcing its status in uncertain markets.

Tesla’s quarterly earnings did not meet estimates, but the company’s share price remained stable.

Concerns about President Trump’s trade policies and his remarks regarding Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell contributed to market volatility earlier in the week.

In trading results, the Dow Jones increased by 1,017 points or 2.7%, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both rose by 2.7% and 2.5%, respectively.

Treasury yields decreased slightly, and Bitcoin’s value climbed past $91,000.

Dow struggles, investors lose confidence amid trade fears

Dow on track for worst April since 1932 amid trade uncertainty and investor ‘no confidence’ signals, as losses deepen.

Dow on track for worst April since 1932 amid trade uncertainty and investor ‘no confidence’ signals, as losses deepen.

In Short

The Dow Jones fell almost 1,000 points, heading for its worst April since 1932, with investors worried about trade restrictions and the future of the Federal Reserve Chairman.

Amidst declining stock confidence, traditional safe assets like bonds are under pressure, while gold prices have soared as investors seek safety.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 1,000 points on Monday, heading towards its worst April since 1932. The S&P 500 has recorded its worst performance for any president at this stage since 1928.

Investors are concerned about trade restrictions and the potential removal of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell by President Trump, leading to fears of further losses. Many doubt that the administration’s trade negotiations will provide timely relief.

Traditional safe assets like government bonds and the U.S. dollar are also under pressure, limiting safe investment options during this instability. Chief investment officer Scott Ladner noted that this reflects a widespread “no confidence” sentiment among investors.

Tax cuts and deregulation

Following Trump’s election, stock indexes initially rose due to optimism around tax cuts and deregulation. However, the introduction of aggressive tariffs sparked significant market declines. Although there was some retraction of tariff plans, markets have not stabilised.

Typically, bond prices should increase during stock declines, but yields on 10-year U.S. Treasurys have risen, indicating a sell-off in government bonds.

The U.S. dollar has weakened due to economic concerns and Trump’s tensions with the Fed, hitting a three-year low. In contrast, gold prices have surged to all-time highs as investors seek safer assets.

Wall Street sentiment is declining, with bearish expectations remaining high for eight consecutive weeks, marking a record for prolonged pessimism among individual investors.
