Financials Market: Target earnings, Canada tariffs, American Airlines screens
CNBC’s Morning Squawk highlights market-moving items on Aug. 19, 2026: Moderna shares jumped as much as 100% after a personalized cancer vaccine developed with Merck showed positive late-stage results. Global bond yields have spiked, pressuring stocks and mortgage rates ahead of Fed minutes and the Jackson Hole conference. Retailers saw tariff refunds boost earnings: Target said refunds added $752 million to Q2 net earnings and raised its full-year outlook; Lowe’s credited an 11-cent EPS lift but gave a tepid outlook and missed revenue expectations. President Trump paused planned 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods for three days pending final documents. American Airlines announced plans to add seatback screens to most narrow-body aircraft starting in 2028. Auto dealers are emphasizing parts and services as new-vehicle sales soften.
Major retail earnings and tariff refunds (Target, Lowe’s) materially affect retail sector outlooks; rising global bond yields and Fed events are market-moving; American Airlines’ cabin screens signal potential changes in in-flight media monetization.
