Here is another batch of stock briefings which may affect trading on world markets later today.
The following companies should see some movement: Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST), Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA), Dupont (NYSE:DD).
Here is a more detailed look at the news that will affect each company when trading continues.
Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST)

Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) and Swatch Group AG may come to blows soon, over the cost of watches.
The world’s biggest Swiss watchmaker, Swatch Group AG has sued Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) for selling the company’s Omega Seamaster watches at a price lower than Swatch’s mandate.
Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) managed to find a third-party distributor in New York, which purchased the watches from an authorized Omega distributor in Europe at a more competitive pricing than Omega charged for its U.S. retailers. Therefore, Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) was able to sell the watch for $1,299 rather than the recommended retail price of $1,995.
The issue at stake concerns the ability of Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) as well as other discount operators to sell discounted products from foreign manufacturers legitimately without breaking U.S. copyright regulations.
Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA)

Boeing (NYSE:BA) has plans for its campus in North Charleston, and most of them involve more buildings.
Boeing (NYSE:BA)’s officials took another step toward constructing a network of smaller support buildings that will dot the aerospace giant’s North Charleston campus. When the delivery center is opened, it will mark the first time that Boeing (NYSE:BA) hands over an airplane outside its Seattle-area campus.
Boeing (NYSE:BA) officials have selected Lexington-based CJMW Architecture to design the campus’ welcome center and delivery center which are scheduled to open by 2012. The new-and-improved Hub will feature a giant commercial kitchen, medical clinic, human resources office and retail shop that will offer Boeing-embroidered apparel to workers on the site.
Dupont (NYSE:DD)

DuPont (NYSE:DD)’s Indian knowledge center will be twice the size, if staff doubling plans come to fruition.
The head of the DuPont (NYSE:DD)’s South Asia operations said that within the next two to three years, the company plans to double the staff at its India knowledge centre. The center, which includes research and development, currently employs 360 people in the south Indian city of Hyderabad.
Balvinder Singh Kalsi, who was speaking at the World’s Economic Forum’s India summit said that, “We need to connect with customers at a very different level and localise our technology and our science to really apply to the Indian market.”
