| 0:00.0 | Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Kintania and David Faber. We are live, as always, from post nine of the New York Stock Exchange. It is the last day of the first quarter and stocks are higher today, but pacing for their worst quarter in years. We'll talk to |
| 0:21.2 | market experts, Edgar Denny and Adam Parker about how they're positioned for Q2. Plus, the CEO |
| 0:27.1 | of Hershey is with us as the company lays out a strategy update after a strong start to the year. |
| 0:32.5 | And it's another Supreme Court opinion day, so that means we're waiting a potential decision |
| 0:36.2 | this hour on President Trump's authority to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook. We'll bring you any headlines on that |
| 0:41.6 | case if we do get it this hour. First up, though, conference board and jolt's on deck. Let's get |

| 1:26.5 | And finally, expectations, 70.9, better than the 68 and |
| 1:32.1 | change we're looking for. It is the only numbers thus far. That's not sequentially higher. Our |
| 1:37.8 | last look was 72. 70.9 would be the lightest since 67 and change in January, but all in all pretty good numbers. |
| 1:47.0 | Job opening the labor turnover, always two months in arrears. |
| 1:50.0 | This is a February number, expected, a number close to 6.9 million, comes in at 6,882,000, |
