| 0:00.0 | It's Jim Kramer here. You're listening to the opening bell of CNBC squawk on the street. |
| 0:04.7 | Don't miss a minute of the action. |
| 0:27.7 | Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintania with Jim Kramer at the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 0:39.0 | David Faber has the morning off. Pre-market is obviously wary after Monday's sell-off. Dow futures down about 60 here as the 210 spread is just three basis points from inverting, flattest in 12 years and the strongest recession signal we've seen in a very long time. |
| 0:42.9 | Europe's red across the board. |
| 0:44.6 | Germany down 1% German business sentiment hits an eight-year low. |
| 0:48.7 | And then watch our own 30-year falls below 210 overnight and everyone is going to be watching |
| 0:53.9 | today's close. Let's get straight to the market. Future's going to be watching today's close. |
| 0:55.6 | Let's go straight to the market. |
| 0:56.8 | Futures lower ahead of this morning's open following a sharp sell-off of the second consecutive Monday. |

| 1:59.3 | but it's entirely possible that you can have the Chinese devaluing and you still get the tariffs. I'm not, no one's disinter. It's interesting. He's positing something that it's hard to disagree with. That's what's happening. Well, fake news, let's say we're fake news. All right. I don't know if it thinks we're fake news.
