0:09.1

Good morning and welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber, along with Jim Kramer and Sarah Eisen.

We're live from the New York Stock Exchange. Carl has the day off today. Let's give you a look at futures, of course, after yesterday's selloff.

0:19.0

You can see we are now set up for what would be a higher open a half hour from now when we begin trading for this Tuesday here at the New York Stock Exchange.

0:26.2

Yesterday, though, was the worst day of the year for stocks, with the S&P, of course, falling about 3%. The Dow was down by more than 950 points. It did end the day down 767 points. This primarily on tensions between the U.S.

and China over trade. Of course, China did allow the U.S. to fall to an 11-year low against the dollar

0:47.4

late yesterday. And the U.S. Treasury Department later on the day labeling China a currency

manipulator. Since then, China's central bank has stepped in.

They just kept hitting the bids, hitting the bids, hitting the bids.

They will return.
