Stocks rally
Wall Street closed higher on Tuesday with the S&P 500 hitting a fresh record, up 1.1%. The blue-chip Dow gained over 200 points, while the Nasdaq added 1.5% as U.S. inflation data came in mildly higher than expected in February.
Record shareholder payouts
Shareholder payouts hit a record $1.7 trillion last year, according to a new report by British asset manager Janus Henderson. Nearly half of the world’s total dividend growth came from the banking sector, which delivered record payouts as rising borrowing costs lifted lenders’ margins, the report found.
Boeing crisis hurt airlines
CEOs from several airlines say Boeing’s delivery delays have forced the carriers to change their growth plans. Boeing’s crisis has deepened since a door plug blew out midflight from an Alaska Airlines Max 9 in January. Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and United, are some of the top buyers of Boeing’s aircraft that have been impacted by its problems.
Citadel on rate cuts
Inflation headwinds remain and the Fed shouldn’t cut rates too quickly, says Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin. “If I’m them, I don’t want to cut too quickly,” he noted, adding that it will be “more devastating” if they have to change direction after initially cutting rates. “I think they are going to be a bit slower than what people were expecting two months ago in cutting rates.” $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$
