FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Auto giant Ford sold almost two million vehicles in the United States last year, the company said Thursday, buoyed by accelerating electric vehicle sales and continued growth in internal combustion engine trucks.

US industrial production declined more than expected in October, with the auto workers strike exerting downward pressure on a range of market groups, the Federal Reserve said Thursday.

The strike, which started on Sept. 15, involved more than 45,000 autoworkers at its peak.

Ford on Thursday said the need to retore manufacturing operations outweighed the additional costs to sweeten a labor contract to end a strike that has cost it some $1.3 billion.

Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft are among companies reporting earnings; new home sales and pending home sales will be released.

The US auto workers union expanded a potentially economically and politically damaging strike against two of Detroit's "Big Three" on Friday -- and invited President Joe Biden to support workers on the picket line.
