Investors were buoyed by <strong>Meta Platforms (<a href=\"\/stock\/META\">META<\/a>)<\/strong>, which saw its upsized <strong>$25 billion common stock offering<\/strong> draw overwhelming demand, ending <strong>five times oversubscribed<\/strong>. The capital raise is intended to fund Meta&#39;s massive <strong>AI infrastructure buildout<\/strong>, which is projected to reach up to <strong>$145 billion<\/strong> in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>In a further boost to the AI landscape, <strong>Oracle (<a href=\"\/stock\/ORCL\">ORCL<\/a>)<\/strong> expanded its cloud capabilities through a new partnership with <strong>Cerebras Systems (<a href=\"\/stock\/CBRS\">CBRS<\/a>)<\/strong>. The collaboration will integrate Cerebras&#39; <strong>Wafer-Scale Engine<\/strong> technology into <strong>Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)<\/strong> starting in 2027, aimed at reducing latency for complex AI agents. Shares of Cerebras surged over <strong>9%<\/strong> on the news, as the deal validates its unique chip architecture as a viable alternative to industry leaders.<\/p>\n<h2>Boeing Plummets as Production Woes Extend Into 2027<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Boeing (<a href=\"\/stock\/BA\">BA<\/a>)<\/strong> was the day&#39;s primary laggard, with its stock price diving <strong>11%<\/strong> to an 18-month low. The aerospace giant admitted it would miss its 2026 target of delivering <strong>500 737 Max jets<\/strong>, now expecting a production rate of <strong>47 aircraft per month<\/strong> to be delayed until early 2027. The company cited &quot;abnormal production costs&quot; and persistent <strong>supplier shortages<\/strong> as the primary drivers of the disruption.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturing crisis has specifically impacted the <strong>KC-46A Tanker<\/strong> and <strong>777 Freighter<\/strong> programs. A high-profile dispute with a critical wing-component supplier, <strong>Vaero<\/strong>, reportedly cost Boeing up to <strong>$6.5 million per day<\/strong> and forced the removal of partially assembled aircraft from the factory floor. While a settlement has been reached, the company warned that the financial impact of these disruptions would be expensed as incurred, further weighing on its path to profitability.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy Markets and Global Policy Shifts<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Brent Crude<\/strong> prices eased to settle below <strong>$114 a barrel<\/strong> on Tuesday. The decline followed reports of high-level diplomatic meetings in <strong>Tehran<\/strong> involving representatives from <strong>Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan<\/strong>, aimed at de-escalating tensions in the <strong>Persian Gulf<\/strong>. Despite the slight retreat, prices remain near six-month highs due to the ongoing risk premium associated with maritime attacks in the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, <strong>Chancellor John Healey<\/strong> is reportedly finalizing a plan to reduce household gas bills by <strong>\u00a350<\/strong>. According to <em>The Telegraph<\/em>, the move involves scrapping certain <strong>standing charges<\/strong> and limiting the government&#39;s power to impose <strong>net-zero levies<\/strong> on consumers. Meanwhile, in South America, the <strong>Chile Central Bank<\/strong> maintained its key interest rate at <strong>4.5%<\/strong>, citing a need to remain cautious amid global inflation risks and geopolitical volatility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Boeing (BA) shares crashed 11% after the company slashed its 2026 delivery targets for the 737 Max and
