Summary

Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer discussed rate hike fears, courtesy of employment data that sparked a market sell-off and sent the 2-year note yield above 5% to a 16-year high. ADP said the private sector added 497,000 jobs in June, more than doubling economists' estimates. The anchors also reacted to comments from Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and New York Fed President John Williams, both making the case for additional rate increases. Also in focus: Treasury Secretary Yellen arrives in Beijing for talks with Chinese officials, market bright spots, Meta launches "Threads" in a direct challenge to Twitter -- how might monetizing the new app and disrupting the ad market fit into the picture?

I mean, if ADP is right, which is almost a half million people got jobs, some, now there's been some geographic areas that aren't so strong.
