The aerospace giant has highlighted its significant US presence in response to comments from President Trump, emphasizing the importance of its American operations. Meanwhile, investors are also adjusting to the holiday schedule, with US stock markets closed for Labor Day and bond trading following a similar pattern. As the markets prepare to resume activity, investors will be watching for signs of how the economy and financial markets will respond to the various factors at play, including monetary policy, trade developments, and geopolitical events.
