Don't miss a minute of the action. Good Thursday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintaniel with Melissa Lee. Mike Santoli here at Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Kramer in favor of the morning off. Stocks do look to resume their climb after Wednesday's holiday. Central banks continue to ease this morning. It's the Swiss triple Q's closing in on a 20% total return for the year so far. Our roadmap begins with the number one and rising Nvidia now the most valuable listed company and shares set to
