On August 20, Boeing declined 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $215.105/share, with turnover of $7.16 billion. The decline occurred amid a broad selloff across the Aerospace & Defense sector, with geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and surging crude oil prices weighing heavily on aviation-related equities.

On the news front, escalating US-Iran tensions following the US decision not to extend its memorandum of understanding with Iran have raised concerns over Hormuz Strait transit capacity. Brent crude surpassed $90/barrel, intensifying cost pressure on commercial aviation operations. Reports noted aviation stocks fell broadly, with Boeing among the hardest hit as rising fuel costs threaten airline demand for new aircraft deliveries.

Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, the overall sector showed broad weakness. Among individual stocks, Rocket Lab USA down 4.17%, Lockheed Martin down 2.64%, GE Aerospace down 2.58%, RTX Corp down 2.36%, and Honeywell Aerospace down 1.74%. The sector-wide decline underscores the macro headwinds facing aerospace names amid elevated energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty.
