Did Trump Force China's Hand? Beijing Nears 500-Jet Boeing Deal Ahead Of Xi Summit
Boeing shares moved higher in late-afternoon trading in New York after Bloomberg News reported that the planemaker may be nearing one of the largest sales in its history, potentially to be unveiled during President Trump's trip to China later this month.
People familiar with the potential Boeing-China jet deal said it could be announced during President Trump's trip to Beijing from March 31 to April 2. They said the deal includes a 500-plane order for 737 Max jets, with additional talks covering approximately 100 widebody aircraft, including 787 Dreamliners and 777Xs.
Boeing aircraft have long been at the center of US-China trade talks, as well as tit-for-tat trade disputes. If the deal materializes, it would mark one of Boeing's biggest sales ever and end years of a Chinese jet sales drought.
Bloomberg offered a caveat:
There's a chance that the talks could reach an impasse and a deal not be completed, the...

First A China-Linked Ship, Now A US-Sanctioned Gas Tanker Transits Hormuz Chokepoint
A US-sanctioned tanker carrying Iranian LPG, the Danuta I, transited the Strait of Hormuz on Friday without incident, shortly after a China-linked bulk carrier also exited the world's most critical energy chokepoint, suggesting IRGC forces may, for now, be allowing Iranian- and Chinese-linked vessels to pass. That said, the strait remains paralyzed for broader commercial traffic, risking energy shocks across Asia that, if prolonged, could spill over into financial markets.
Bloomberg reports the very large gas carrier, sailing under the flag of Palau, transited the strait in the early hours of Friday morning local time without incident. The ship picked up cargo from within the Persian Gulf, which Bloomberg journalists said was "seen from a draft increase."
"The Strait of Hormuz is currently too risky for legitimate shipowners to cross from a commercial standpoint as well as for safety of crew, w...
