Key developments

American advanced alongside other airlines as reporting linked sector strength to United’s stronger-than-expected revenue guidance and signs of resilient travel demand and pricing power, rather than new American-specific results. The prior session’s oil decline also offered potential fuel-cost relief, although reports tying it to possible Iran peace talks remained unverified.
