Boeing plane crashes in India

Good morning. A Boeing airplane crashes in India. Donald Trump’s getting ready to lay out his latest tariffs. And space proves it’s not the final frontier when it comes to cost cuts. Listen to the day’s top stories.

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated by Air India bound for London from Ahmedabad crashed shortly after takeoff and exploded into a huge fireball, in what’s set to be the worst accident involving the US planemaker’s most advanced widebody airliner. The flight was carrying 242 passengers and crew. Boeing shares slumped premarket as the crash highlighted other accidents involving its planes.

Opinion

The Federal Reserve might as well take the rest of the summer off and head for the beach, John Authers writes. Latest US inflation data showed that if sweeping new tariffs are going to shift inflation upward, they haven’t done it yet. There’s little point in trying to get out too far in front.
