End down today, it will probably still be a strong july wall streets eyeing what would be a fivemonth winning streak thats very impressive. It is we have some downgrades today on the research front. Ford, ge, csx, u. P. S. , salesforce, thats just a few. We will dig into some of the reasons why. And twitter left its heart in san francisco, but elon musk saying the newly branded company, x, will still call that city home despite its downward spiral, as he says ill be out there next month. You will . Well, september, for dreamforce oh, dreamforce. Im a big believer in the city, and i was out there in september and was i dont want to say i was horrified. But its mnot the city that i remember were going to talk more about that, but i want to get to the markets as we start our coverage for the week. Today is our last day of july. As we said, fifth straight month were coming off what was a fairly strong week sure. And what seems to have been generally speaking, and of course, we got a lot mo
Downgrade. Apple and amazon set to report after the bell tonight. Speaking of earnings, were going to talk to shopifys president this hour on the companys latest quarter after topping some estimates but lets begin with tech as we look ahead to apple and amazon tonight the nasdaq, as we said, worst daily performance since february, jim. Are we going to use qualcomm as a read for tonight no, qualcomm is just pa theting i. I was disgusted with that quarter. Im so tired of their hype im sorry. I have a negative attitude about them im positive about other things. I mean, at the start, once again, they do this thing, its great, its great, its great. And then you get to actually, but you know what, its bad, and its weak. Its great, its great, well, its bad, its weak, and this is post auto and handset inventory buildup and, no, im making the samsung story, the solutions to apple. But no it is not a tell now, you could say, well, look, maybe apple is coming in too hot. I think theres a theres t
Dow advancing 47 points. S p gained. 52 . But the nasdaq jumped. 9 . Hallelujah with todays strength its important to note that the nasdaq and s p both finished the month of february at record highs. Something i regard as quite simply amazing given all the woe and worry that we endlessly hear about. What fueled todays rally . Its actually a complex formula of emotion and Empirical Data ware widespread sense of negativity gets proven wrong and remember, why we like stocks shines brightly. Smashing the allencompassing gloom. The house of pleasure lets start with the setup. We get data from all sorts of places the census bureau, bureau of statistics, bank of st. Lou, s p global, commerce department. Often these figures dont mean a hill of beans but periodically when the fed is in play they can mean everything. Especially if you know that the fed cares about some pieces of data more than others. Right now the fed is very much in play. Weve been getting some hot Economic Data of late. They
Stocks not doing much. Revenue forecast, certainly concerning. Well talk to jim a lot about that, and well talk a lot about snowflake. That stock is down dramatically this morning, both on guidance and the news that its ceo, Frank Slootman, will be retiring. Suboptimal. Yeah. Suboptimal. Lets start with the inflation data, sort of get that out of the way before we move on. Whats your take on this pce number . In line is cool. Thats the way i look at it. I think that there were a lot of people who thought after the cpi this one would be bad too, and when you look at the progression of the s p futures, david, it really is incredible how negative people are underneath. I mean, when frank was on, frank holland, this morning, he saw the futures just sinking as if the it was a foregone conclusion that the number would be too high. We keep seeing that, which is, i think, one of the puts underneath the market, is the actual negativity of the futures. Interesting. And to your point, there is th
Highs right now seeing the dow up fractionally. The s p up almost half a percent. The nasdaq even better than that. Not shown the small caps, doing better than all three. I really think thats where we have to begin. Not the small caps, steve weiss. Are you going to stick with mega cap tech, keep this train rolling, or is now the time to take profits and broaden out the thesis . I did shave a little bit of meta, but, you know, i dont look at it that way. I look at whats reliable, whats predictable cash flow, assuming they have it. And what am i happy in owning. I will leave dell for later. Its not normal to have the market go up every day on a relatively narrow move. There are other things working. Ill leave jim to talk about those can i push back . Are there other things working . Hold on, i will show a graphic. We have a great data team at cnc cnbc. The s p gains, 57 coming from the fantastic four. 32 coming from nvidia alone. So, yes, some other things may be working, but the majorit
