Wednesday's trading: 5 things to know
Wednesday's trading may also be impacted by Toyota's global production and the latest fuel inventory report
Here are the key events taking place on Wednesday that could impact trading.
GROWTH CHECK: The Commerce Department will release its final estimate of first-quarter gross domestic product. The Refinitiv forecast is for a seasonally adjusted annualized contraction of 1.5%. That’s unchanged from the preliminary estimate last month, but a big reversal from the 6.9% pace of growth in the fourth quarter.
TOYOTA MOTOR: Watch shares of Toyota after the company reported that it missed its global production target for May. The automaker's production target had already been downgraded as China's COVID-19 lockdowns and semiconductor shortages continued to impact business. That makes May the third straight month in which production fell short.
