● Boeing Co рационализирует системы производства самолетов на своей крупнейшей фабрике, пытаясь сократить расходы, чтобы конкурировать с Airbus и урезать дефицит около $30 млрд из-за Boeing-787 Dreamliner, пишет Reuters. Boeing перемещает часть производства за границу. Но гендиректор компании Деннис Мюленбург в интервью WSJ утверждает, что это не ударит по рабочим местам в США
● Федеральная резервная система (ФРС) США, как ожидается, повысит ставки в июне вне зависимости от того, какими будут экономические данные. В то же время трейдеры теряют веру в повышение ставок во втором полугодии, пишет ZeroHedge
● “Местные” банки США не выдерживают регулирования. Несколько недель назад Standard Financial, банк с активами $488 млн и всего девятью отделениями, слился с Allegheny Valley Bancorp, еще меньшим по размеру соседом в пригороде Питтсбурга. Основная причина объединения, объясняет глава Standard Тим Зиммерман, – возросшая стоимость регулирования, хотя конкуренция с базирующемся в регионе PNC, финансовым гигантом с активами более чем $371 млрд, также сыграла свою роль.
● Tesla, HPE, Alcoa попали в спискок Fortune 500. Всего добавлено 20 новых компаний, шесть были результатом разделений или отделений, а три были созданы более 100 лет назад. Две были созданы только в прошлом году.
