| 0:00.0 | Market insight and analysis. You're listening to the opening bell of CnBC, Squawk on the Street. Good Thursday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintanio with David Faber, Mike Santoli, a post-9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Kramer is the morning off. S&P, once again, going to flirt with levels just south of 7K. Yields are lower across the curve. Got some good earnings to chew on this morning from Cisco to |
| 0:21.3 | Apploven to McDonald's. Jobless claims still a little elevated. 227 is the highest since early |
| 0:27.2 | December. Roadmap begins with the state of stocks. A number of sectors continue to hit new highs, |
| 0:32.9 | while software and now commercial real estate takes a hit on these AI fears. Plus Dow components, Cisco and McDonald's moving in different directions on the back of their |
| 0:41.8 | latest earnings. The House voting to override President Trump's tariffs on Canada and reports |
| 0:48.7 | the U.S. and China may extend their trade truce. This is when President Trump and she meet in person. |
| 0:56.6 | Let's begin with the market's poised for it higher open after yesterday's slight |

| 1:22.7 | It feels as if they're losing the benefit of the doubt. |
| 1:25.4 | What's fascinating, I mean, this is basically the most interesting flat index performance I probably ever seen, meaning the dramatic moves inside |
| 1:34.6 | the index and what it's taken to keep the S&P right in place have been fascinating. So you had |
| 1:40.8 | a one-month move average on the S&P 500 individual stocks of more than 10%. |
| 1:45.3 | 11% Nemora says, which is in the 99th percentile in terms of the average move of a stock |
| 1:50.8 | versus the index. So what you see is violent, almost desperate rotation of people kind of trying |

| 2:01.0 | of a sure thing, and it's rushing into the smallest sectors of the market, which is energy |
| 2:06.0 | and materials and consumer staples. And it's had those things go vertical. So far, it's been |
