Boeing (NYSE:BA) bounces off its lowest close since March 2020, +5.1% in Thursday's trading to lead all Dow Jones gainers, after China Southern Airlines (ZNH) conducted test flights with a 737 MAX jet for the first time since March. A MAX jet reportedly took off from Guangzhou on Tuesday morning and landed two hours later in the city of Nanyang in central China, before returning to Guangzhou in the evening, Reuters reported, citing aviation data provider Variflight. China Southern (ZNH) apparently had not flown any other MAX jets in the last 90 days.

Boeing (BA) said it booked gross orders for 23 aircraft last month, including seven 787-9 Dreamliners for Lufthansa, after booking gross orders
