Sector backdrop and peer comparison

The sector tone around U.S. airlines has brightened recently, with falling oil and jet fuel prices and resilient consumer travel demand supporting the group. A commentary on Investing.com highlights that the U.S. Global Jets ETF, which includes Delta alongside peers such as United Airlines and Southwest Airlines, has rallied about 12 percent over a recent three-day stretch as investors grew more optimistic about an easing conflict in Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
