On the NYSE:
On the Nasdaq:
Boeing (BA) reversed higher despite 737 Max production announcement. The stock is up 0.2%, after falling as much as 2% earlier. Boeing suppliers are also under pressure, Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) is down 2.6%, and Triumph Group (TGI) is up 0.3% after plunging 6.2% on Monday. General Electric (GE) is currently down 0.2%
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg, said in July that halting Boeing 737 Max production could be more efficient than a sustained lower production rate. It would reduce the outflow of airplanes, as storage space becomes an issue.

US Job Openings Surge Past Expectations
The JOLTs report came in 260,000 better-than-expected. The jobs market is amazing and yet people are still reluctant to quit their jobs, which keeps wages lower if they’d go if more folks hit the bricks.
