US equity markets edged higher and remained on track to post solid monthly gains as bond yields retreated, with investors eyeing Thursday night’s AEST (31 November) inflation data - Dow added +84-points or +0.24%. Boeing Co gained +1.4%, buoyed by an upgrade to ‘Outperform’ from ‘Sector Perform’ by RBC Capital (who also lifted their target price on the airplane manufacturer to US$275 from US$200). “After another year of supply-chain disruptions and lowered expectations, we believe the set-up into 2024 is favourable,” the analysts said in a research note.
