Good Monday morning. Welcome back to Squawk on the Street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Cantania and David Faber, live as always from post nine of the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks are rallying on this Monday morning. That's just a little bit. We're up five points on the S&P. NASDAQ, again, unchanged. Dow up three. Big report of the week is going to be CPI tomorrow. We'll talk about that in just a moment ahead of that. We've got treasuries on the move.

They're still almost 100% odds of a of the week is going to be CPI tomorrow. We'll talk about that in just a moment ahead of that.

0:38.7

We've got treasuries on the move. There's still almost 100% odds of a rate cut being priced in the first September. The 10 year are a little bit lower, so there's buying at the long end, and then the short end, some selling with the two-year note yield, a little bit firmer, 3.76%. Today, new reports in Vidia and AMD will pay the U.S.

for UFC, Paramount Plus. TK.O. Holding CEO Ari Emanuel and President Mark Shapiro will be here at the New York Stock Exchange. Plus, Barrack Mining, just reporting earnings as we await clarification on these gold tariffs. The CEO joins us first on CNBC in just a few minutes. The president is set to speak this hour on a busy morning for headlines when it comes to the semis.

Let's get to Amon Javreys this morning from the White House. Hey, Amin. Yeah, Carl, that's right. We were expecting the president right at the top of 10 o'clock. Looks like they're running a little bit behind here. And a whole lot to hear from the president of the United States this morning. He's going to be talking about crime in D.C. and a new effort that they're putting in place
