Boeing Shares Lift Dow Industrials, With Inflation Data Looming

A large order for jets helped boost Boeing shares Monday in an otherwise quiet day for U.S. markets ahead of key inflation data. 

Given a lift by Boeing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.2%, or roughly 55 points. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.2%.
