Airlines regained altitude despite industry warnings, while Chinese electric vehicle stocks surged on improving demand.

📊 On Wednesday, better-than-expected inflation readings helped the bulls close the market green. Intel appointed a new CEO and retail stocks like Groupon, Rumble, and iRobot popped back on the radar.

⚠️ On Thursday, stocks slid despite positive inflation readings. February’s producer price index fell MoM for the first time since July, Dollar General finally delivered some good news about its turnaround plan but still warned of a weak consumer.
