| 0:12.8 | Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintanio with Jim Kramer, David |
| 0:16.4 | Faber, the New York Stock Exchange. Futures are steady as we're coming off three days up for the Dow and the S&P. Markets juggling a miss and a guide lower on Home Depot's comps. Along with these reports, the White House is mulling a payroll tax cut. Europe is mixed. Yields resuming their decline today, 10-year-155. Our roadmap begins with a pause in all the volatility. Got some calmer waves over futures this morning. |
| 0:38.2 | Plus, we got a bit of a check on the U.S. consumer this morning. We'll break down earnings from Home Depot, Coles, and TJX. And breaking up is hard to do, the chairman of the FTC, weighing in on how to separate Facebook. But down the S&P in the midst of a three-session win streak, moving closer to erasing all of their losses from Wednesday's big sell-off. |
