Summary

David Faber, Leslie Picker and Mike Santoli led off the program with reaction to the June employment report, which showed better-than-expected job creation -- but also downward revisions on growth for May and April. Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su discussed White House reaction to the numbers with the presidential election just four months away. The anchors also weighed in on this week's tech rally and new all-time intraday highs for the Nasdaq. Some members of the "trillion-dollar club" entered Friday's session at record closing highs, while Tesla moved closer to erasing its losses for 2024. Also in focus: The Labour Party's UK election landslide, decision day for Boeing, retail buyouts in the spotlight, banks rally, the 2nd half playbook on energy, Mark Zuckerberg's unique 4th of July celebration.

Market Insight and Analysis. You're listening to the opening bell of CNBC, Squawk on the Street.

0:05.6

Good Friday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber with Leslie Picker and Mike Santoli.

0:10.0

We're live from Post-9 at the New York Stock Exchange. You just had a look at futures. Joe called it riveting.

0:16.9

Tend to agree. Yeah, that's really. That's very exciting right there.

0:20.4

But our show will be exciting, unlike perhaps what the market looks like. So, you know, that's riveting, even if it's not moving much. If it's getting Mike Santoli excited, then you know you've got something going on. Let's get to our roadmap. It does begin with continued job market resilience, not slowing the tech stock rally, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet, all set

to notch new highs at the open.

0:41.8

Plus, Tesla's bounce back shares rallying again on track for an eight-day win streak.

It's the longest since June of last year.

1:38.2

And Mike, listen, we've been paying attention, of course, to yields in the bond market this week in terms of potential tell.

1:43.3

I'm curious to sort of get your take on both the employment report and the impact on the bond market and

2:03.1
