| 0:00.0 | Market Moving Insight and Analysis joined Jim Kramer, David Faber and me, Carl Cantonea, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:08.0 | Good Tuesday morning, welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Cantonea with Sarah Eisen, Mike Santoli at post-9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Kramer in favor of the morning off. |
| 0:16.0 | 30 record highs for the S&P so far this year. Future is pretty steady as retail sales come in soft |
| 0:21.8 | with some negative revisions. 10-year drops to 424. Markets, of course, are closed tomorrow for |
| 0:27.4 | Juneteenth holiday. We're up against with the markets record run. The S&P and the NASDAQ |
| 0:32.0 | aiming to set some fresh all-time highs. On that note, Apple and Microsoft helping to fuel the |
| 0:37.1 | tech rally as they continue to |

| 1:17.2 | The headline number today, 0.1% retail sales. |
| 1:21.3 | So it was disappointing. |
| 1:22.4 | The key control series, which goes into GDP, takes out autos and gas and building materials and food services. |
| 1:29.3 | It was 0.4% month over month, which also came in a bit light. |
| 1:34.3 | So Mike, I'm not sure it necessarily changes the narrative, |
| 1:38.3 | but it fuels the idea that it's been a mixed picture for consumer spending. |
