Market Moving Insight and Analysis.

Join Jim Kramer, David Faber, and me, Carl Kintanilla,

on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. Good Wednesday morning, welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintania with Jim Kramer, David Faber, at post nine of the New York Stock Exchange. The Bulls are looking for a reset as we kick off the month of March. Futures, though, have lost some gains. China PMI comes in hot, best manufacturing number in over a decade, and German CPI is hot.

Yields are higher today.

Our roadmap begins with the first trading day of March.

Dow and S&P coming off their second negative month and three.

It is Tesla's Investor Day.

This is Elon Musk, lays out his long-term vision. The stock, by the way, up almost 70% here today. We'll also round up another busy morning of retail reports. We've got Lowe's, Dollar Tree, Coles, Ross, a lot more.

Let's begin with the markets, though, as we kick off this new month of trading, Jim.

Certainly, the yield picture is not offering any new relief with the flip of the calendar.

No, it did a piece last night just talking about how frustrating this market's become.

But everybody's fine, and rates tick up, and everything you wanted to do, everything you were thinking about,

everything that's reported is now muted. So yesterday, a great example, Brian Cornell did an amazing job on Target.

I thought that was just a fantastic quarter. He's really managed to get the inventories clean.

It really looks like they've got a very good track for 2023 and the stocks is four.

And then it finishes up with one because the interest rate, interest rate fluctuations. We are so gripped in a macro. David said something yesterday that I thought was brilliant, which there's, relax, which is that there's absolutely no humans play.

It's all machines. The algorithms. Yeah. I mean, that's been the case for a while. You know, I was looking back, obviously, my notes every day, and I was looking at how many times I had written down about things that are attached to Mike Wilson. There's basically like a, you know, people, they attach an algorithm to him. No, they're generating Mike Wilson. Yeah. And, I mean, people think we're kidding. That's what goes on. No, I'm not kidding. I had it in here like three different times, two, you know, people telling me, oh, yeah, they're, it's the Mike Wilson algorithm. But this is absurd. I mean, we have a real market, okay, with real stocks of real companies. And they are being revalued. I know waiting

machine voting, forget that. They're being revalued every six or seven minutes. And I think that

that's so treacherous that you just have to let it play its course. You can't make, I mean,

honestly, I mean, I was going back and forth with Target, how great Target was, only to see Target go down. Because Target the stock has absolutely nothing to do with Target the company. I mean, that's amazing to me. How is that possible? We're going to dive into a bunch of the other retail names with their reports and guidance. It's not all good, to be sure. Oh, no. No, there are ones that aren't.

Boy, the hate one for Dollar Tree versus the raw stores, which I thought was terrible and everybody loved it. I mean, at one point they said, we have, someone asked about stealing. They said, we have guards in front of the stores. It's like, you know, like, yeah, you know, we got guards. Oh, good.

TJ doesn't have, we've got guards.
