Carl Quintanilla Jim Cramer and David Faber focused on the market rally sparked by a blowout May employment report: Non-farm payrolls rose by 339,000 and wage growth remained solid. The unemployment rate increased to 3.7%. The anchors also discussed a published report which says Amazon is in talks to provide low-cost mobile services to its Prime customers in the U.S. In reaction to that report, shares of Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile took a hit -- but Dish Network rallied. Amazon is among Bank of America's "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks which have surged in the first five months of 2023. The firm said tech equity funds saw record weekly inflows, sparked by investor interest in AI.
