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.
