Boeing's stock surged over 8% ahead of President Trump's China visit amid hopes of a 500-jet order from China. However, the actual deal finalized during the summit was for only 200 jets, 300 fewer than anticipated, causing Boeing shares to fall 4.73% in one session and further in pre-market trading. This reduced Boeing's market value by about $9 billion. The smaller order also impacted President Trump's investment portfolio, potentially costing him up to $230,000 due to the stock price decline.
