Consumer companies rose, but not by as much as the broad market, after earnings from one major airline.
Among consumer companies, Delta Air Lines posted a 19% increase in second-quarter operating revenue as customers continued booking flights despite higher prices. Shares of Delta declined.
Shares of British discount airline EasyJet jumped to a four-year high after the London-listed carrier said it had agreed to a potential $7.6 billion takeover from U.S. investment firm Apollo Global.
A Ryanair flight was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff in Greece after a window dislodged midflight on the Boeing 737 aircraft, injuring a passenger seated next to the opening.
