With so much uncertainty as to when this rate environment may shift, investors may need to re-adjust their portfolios accordingly.

Spirit AeroSystems said it has developed a plan that gives it “a high degree of confidence” to meet U.S. planemaker Boeing's rate and quality demands for parts for the 737 MAX jet, the company told Reuters on Wednesday.
