Why It Matters: Shares of Boeing tumbled as much as 6.3% in Monday’s intraday trade before paring losses, following news that a Boeing 737-800NG plane carrying 132 people crashed in China’s southwestern province of Guangxi.

The 737-800 NG, or Next Generation is part of the Boeing single-aisle family, which preceded the 737 Max.

The news about the crash comes just as Boeing is preparing to re-enter the 737 Max into commercial service in China’s lucrative aviation market.

Price Action: Boeing shares closed 3.6% lower in Monday’s regular trading session at $185.90 and further lost 0.2% in the after-hours session to $185.50.
