Another August week passed relatively calmly after the series of strong moves at the start of the month.

Oil prices climbed last week as tensions around the Middle East intensified, with renewed friction near the Strait of Hormuz adding an extra risk premium to commodity markets and lifting volatility across global assets. At the same time, the start of the US corporate earnings season put pressure on stock indices, as investors began locking […]
Boeing has received two important positive signals this week. First, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) expects to certify the Boeing 737 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10 soon. Second, SMBC Aviation Capital, one of the world's largest aircraft leasing companies, has ordered 100 aircraft from the 737 MAX family. In Brief The FAA says […]
