Join Jim Kramer, David Faber and me, Carl Cantonia on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street.

0:14.1

Good Friday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber with Jim Kramer. We're here at

0:18.5

Post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange.

0:22.9

Let's start up with a look at energy prices.

0:40.7

You've heard at the end of Squawk Box some potential headlines from the foreign minister of Iran saying that the straight hardcore moves is, quote, completely open in line with the ceasefire in Iran. And that has sent crude to new lows. In recent lows, obviously, it's been far lower than that. But new

1:53.5

We've been going up and up and up because we felt that the war was over.

1:57.4

So now when we see something that's like this, this stock market is not going to do
