Furthermore, the Brexit problems continue to demand the attention of investors on Wall Street and there are some macroeconomic figures from the United States.

The pressure on the aircraft manufacturer to keep the 737 MAX on the ground in the US is also increasing, after a large number of countries have already decided not to let the aircraft fly after two deadly crashes in a short time.
