Ford electrified its sales in May and 7 more corporate news

Yesterday, US stocks moved back and forth between negative and positive territory as investors look for signs of cracks in the economy.
Poor production data made Wall Street strategists less optimistic about the economy. Yesterday's report on vacancies did not help either.
So what will happen next? No one knows. Fed officials have said that they should not expect major changes too soon as they keep an eye on inflation.
In the latest update, Fed Chair Powell said that the group is not sure when it will take action. The central bank will meet next week, 3rd to discuss.
The number of vacancies fell to its lowest level since February 2021.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported 8.06 million job openings in April, up from 8.35 million in March.
However, the BLS reported a slight increase in new hires in April to 5.36 million.
A slowing labor market could prompt the Fed to cut interest rates sooner, but it needs more data before making a decision. Busy week: The monthly jobless claims report will be released on Thursday, followed by the May jobs report on Friday.
