Tech stocks, particularly ServiceNow, and companies like Hasbro and Texas Instruments, saw substantial stock increases due to strong financial performance, despite the overarching trade war uncertainties.
Corporate and Global Outlook
Airlines Southwest and American Airlines showed mixed responses to economic forecasts, with both pulling some financial projections amid economic uncertainty but still posting stock gains after surpassing profit expectations.
