The Week

Toyota (TOYOF) gained 0.64% this week to close at $19.81, finishing ahead of the S&P 500, which fell 0.8%, by roughly 1.44 percentage points. It was a choppy four-session stretch: Tuesday opened at $19.20 and closed at $19.55, Wednesday slipped toward $19.02 before settling at $19.138, Thursday briefly reached a week high of $20.25 only to give back the gains, and Friday pushed higher to end at $19.81. There was no major stock-specific catalyst, and the week’s single news item on solid-state batteries and flying cars appeared loosely connected to the share price.

The Week Ahead

The macro calendar picks up next week. Tuesday brings the New York Fed manufacturing index, while Wednesday is packed with US retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, retail control, import prices, the NAHB housing market index, and EIA crude inventories. The retail sales readings, in particular, may set the tone for consumer-related equities including autos. Toyota itself has no earnings scheduled for next week.
