| 0:00.0 | Good Wednesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintanay with Mike Santoli, |
| 0:09.9 | David Favor here at Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Sarah Eisen co-hosting the View today, |
| 0:14.8 | although no flipping. Coming up this hour, we'll talk to Evercores Julian Emanuel on this Fed |
| 0:19.6 | day as the latest street on inflation comes in much hotter than expected, why he says we're in one of the |
| 0:25.1 | riskiest moments of the century. |
| 0:28.3 | Goldman's co-head of commodities is with us, investors tracking these new developments in the |
| 0:31.9 | Middle East. |
| 0:32.9 | We'll get his prediction for where oil prices might be heading. |
| 0:35.8 | And there's a new boss of Disney officially today. |

Now getting changed, it is now revised to down four-tenths, and down four-tenths would still be the |
| 1:12.3 | weakest since July of last year, so a decent rebound up one-tenth. Strip out transportation, |

| 1:24.7 | says now back-to-back, up four-tenths. Those are the best back-to-back read since July when it was up 5-10s. |
| 1:31.9 | Now let's switch gears. Let's go to durable goods. These are final reads replacing mid-month January reads. |
| 1:38.4 | So unchanged remains unchanged on durable goods. Ex-transportation, it rises to four-tenths and stays there. |
