Airline stocks, which soared yesterday after Delta's latest results revived optimism about the sector, have come back to earth a bit today. Some analysts, however, expect tailwinds to continue.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) is reportedly cannibalizing its Airbus SE (EADSY) jets in Europe for engines to fit them onto its grounded aircraft in the U.S. According to a Bloomberg report, Delta Air Lines is stripping its European aircraft to overcome a shortage of engines as well as uncertainty resulting from President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The carrier will report earnings Thursday, providing an update on the health of the travel sector and the U.S. economy.

Trump the tariff man has returned in force. The president slapped a 50% tariff on copper imports, powering shares of metals play Freeport-McMoRan ( FCX) up almost 5% on the week. Copper ( HG=F) prices have surged 10% since Monday.

Stocks moved lower in early trading Friday as investors digested the latest threats from President Donald Trump to impose hefty tariffs on U.S. trading partners.

The airline reported better earnings than expected for its latest quarter, and restored its forecast for the rest of the year.

Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest carrier by revenue, reported upbeat second quarter results and reinstated its guidance as growing economic clarity deflects headwinds resulting from a global trade war.

Delta Air Lines executives say they believe the current slump in domestic air travel will pass soon, prompting the carrier to restore a full-year earnings forecast that it scrapped this spring amid market volatility.
