Shares of aerospace giant Boeing $BA surged by 4% following the company's announcement to boost production of the 737 MAX, its best-selling narrow-body aircraft.

On Tuesday, Devon Energy $DVN reported its first-quarter earnings, which fell short of Wall Street's expectations. While the company saw a significant increase in production, the decline in oil prices, particularly for Brent crude, led to weaker-than-anticipated profits.
