DALLAS (AP) -- Southwest Airlines sought more time last year to inspect fan blades like the one that snapped off during one of its flights Tuesday in an engine failure that left a passenger dead.

Small-cap stocks are quietly outperforming, and the run may continue — for now
The S&P 500 is up 0.5 percent and the Dow is down 0.5 percent since the start of 2018, but the Russell 2000 has risen 2.3 percent. Furthermore, the S&P 500 is still more than 6 percent off its record high, while the Russell 2000 is less than 3 percent from its all-time high. The U.S.-centric case really rests on the U.S. economy picking up pace from 2.5 percent to perhaps 3 percent growth, and so far, you don't really see that in the data," Schlossberg said, specifically pointing to tepid growth across ISM measures and smaller surveys of growth, like the Empire State Manufacturing Survey.

Markets Upbeat But Financials Remain in Funk
Financials continue to act poorly and that is due in part to discussion about an inverted yield curve. Banks are most profitable when longer term rates are higher than shorter term rates but the Fed's recently rate hikes haven't done much to push longer rates higher. Non-voting Fed Member, James Bullard, suggests that the Fed should not be in any hurry to raise rates now since inflation is still low.
