 Boeing shares, which are part of the Dow index, got a lift from the news. The aircraft maker agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from the deadly crashes of two 737 MAX jets. Boeing agrees to pay a nearly half-billion-dollar fine and invest hundreds of millions of dollars more to improve safety. Three years ago, the company struck a deal to avoid criminal prosecution, but the Justice Department says Boeing failed to live up to the conditions of that agreement.
