| 0:00.0 | Good Friday morning, everyone. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Kintanilla |
| 0:04.2 | live from Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. David has the morning off. We've got another major |
| 0:08.8 | sell-off on Wall Street today. Day two reaction to the tariffs, China hitting back with tariffs of |
| 0:15.6 | its own, 34%. S&P 500 is down almost 3%. so not quite as bad as yesterday, but still pretty ugly. |
| 0:22.8 | Every sector is lower. The sector's taken it the hardest right now. You've got energy down 5.6 |
| 0:28.9 | percent. Financials down 4 percent. Industrials down 3.65 percent. The NASDAQ is down 2.8 percent. |
| 0:35.9 | I mean, it is shaping up to be a pretty tough week as we close out the week. |
| 0:39.3 | We're looking at declines of 6% on the S&P, more than 7% for the NASDAQ as the markets digest this global trade shock after Liberation Day. |

| 1:33.4 | We know we're going to have to readjust the economic outlook. Having said that, there are some |
| 1:38.4 | pieces of good news today. Let's start with jobs. I mean, it's not a normal reaction to a very |
