Equities Dip as Boeing Reshuffles Leadership and Bitcoin Surges

隨著波音公司重組領導和比特幣飆升，股市下跌

New York Stock Exchange trading commenced on a somber note, with the benchmark indices retreating as market participants grappled with a confluence of events, including a leadership shakeup at Boeing (BA) and a significant surge in bitcoin.

紐約證券交易所交易開始時氣氛陰沉，基準指數回落，因為市場參與者正在應對一系列事件，包括波音公司（BA）領導層改組和比特幣大幅上漲。

At the closing bell, the Nasdaq Composite Index declined by 0.3% to settle at 16,384, while the S&P 500 Index lost 0.3% to close at 5,218. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) retreated by 0.4% to 39,313, dragged down by weakness in 3M (MMM, -1.8%) and McDonald's (MCD, -1.4%).

Intel (INTC, -1.7%) emerged as another notable decliner on the Dow Jones today, following news that China has imposed restrictions on the use of certain U.S.-made chips and servers in government computers. The Financial Times reported that the new guidelines primarily target chips produced by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, +0.6%), as well as Microsoft's (MSFT, -1.4%) Windows operating systems.

在有消息稱中國對政府電腦中使用某些美國製造的晶片和伺服器實施限制後，英特爾（INTC，-1.7%）今天成為道瓊斯指數的另一個顯著下跌股。英國《金融時報》報道稱，新指南主要針對英特爾和 Advanced Micro Devices（AMD，+0.6%）生產的晶片，以及微軟（MSFT，-1.4%）的 Windows 作業系統。

Boeing Ascends as CEO Announces Departure

執行長宣布離職，波音股價上升

Fellow blue-chip company Boeing (BA) defied the broader market trend, rising 1.4% after announcing that David Calhoun would step down as Chief Executive Officer at the end of the year. Calhoun assumed the role in 2020 as Boeing navigated the aftermath of two fatal crashes involving its MAX aircraft. The company has faced significant turbulence during his tenure, most recently following a mid-flight panel blowout on one of its Max 9 aircraft in late January.

同為藍籌股的波音公司 (BA) 在宣布戴維·卡爾霍恩 (David Calhoun) 將在年底辭去首席執行官一職後，股價逆大盤走勢上漲 1.4%。卡爾霍恩於 2020 年接任這一職務，當時波音公司正經歷兩起涉及 MAX 飛機的致命空難。在他任職期間，該公司遭遇了重大動盪，最近一次是 1 月底一架 Max 9 飛​​機在飛行途中面板發生爆炸。

Boeing also announced the departures of Larry Kellner, its Chairman of the Board, and Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airlines. "Boeing is attempting to draw a line under the reputational damage the company has suffered amid a pile-on of safety issues," said Susannah Streeter, Head of Money and Markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. However, she cautioned that "following five years of catastrophic events including two fatal crashes, Boeing is still likely to go through more turbulence before calmer conditions have a chance of returning."

波音公司也宣布董事會主席拉里·凱爾納(Larry Kellner)和波音商業航空公司首席執行官斯坦·迪爾(Stan Deal)離職。 Hargreaves Lansdown 貨幣與市場主管蘇珊娜·斯特里特 (Susannah Streeter) 表示：“波音公司正試圖為其因一系列安全問題而遭受的聲譽損害劃清界限。”然而，她警告說，“在經歷了五年的災難性事件（包括兩起致命墜機事件）之後，波音公司仍有可能經歷更多的動盪，然後才有機會恢復平靜。”

Bitcoin Sizzles as Halving Event Approaches

比特幣嘶嘶聲隨著減半活動的接近

In the cryptocurrency realm, bitcoin resumed its rally, surging nearly 8% to $71,009. (Bitcoin markets operate continuously, with the price quoted at 4 pm Eastern.) The cryptocurrency has gained approximately 70% so far this year, and some analysts believe that next month's bitcoin halving event could provide further tailwinds.

在加密貨幣領域，比特幣恢復漲勢，飆升近 8% 至 71,009 美元。 （比特幣市場持續運行，報價為東部時間下午 4 點）。今年以來，加密貨幣已上漲約 70%，一些分析師認為，下個月的比特幣減半可能會帶來進一步的利好。

"Historically, bitcoin halvings have been associated with significant price increases in the cryptocurrency," wrote Kiplinger contributor Randy Ginsburg in his feature on bitcoin halving. "The theory behind this is simple: As the supply of new bitcoins entering the market decreases, the demand for them could surpass the supply."

基普林格撰稿人蘭迪·金斯伯格（Randy Ginsburg）在有關比特幣減半的專題文章中寫道：「從歷史上看，比特幣減半與加密貨幣價格的大幅上漲有關。 」 “這背後的理論很簡單：隨著進入市場的新比特幣供應減少，對它們的需求可能會超過供應。”

Today's surge in bitcoin prices generated a positive spillover effect for several crypto-related stocks, including Coinbase Global (COIN, +9.5%) and MicroStrategy (MSTR, +21.9%).

今天比特幣價格的飆升對幾隻加密貨幣相關股票產生了積極的溢出效應，包括 Coinbase Global（COIN，+9.5%）和 MicroStrategy（MSTR，+21.9%）。

DWAC Soars Ahead of Trump Media & Technology Group Merger

可以說，當天最受關注的上漲股是 Digital World Acquisition (DWAC)，該股飆漲 35.2%。週二，這家特殊目的收購公司（SPAC）或「空白支票公司」將與川普媒體與科技集團合併，由川普媒體與科技集團前總統川普創立的媒體和科技公司，擁有Truth Social。新股票將於明天在納斯達克綜合指數開始交易，股票代號為 DJT。
