The CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer’s Morning Meeting livestream on Monday covered the performance of the U.S. stock market. It was noted that U.S. stocks rose, building on the gains from the previous session. The S & P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all saw increases of over 1% each following a softer-than-expected jobs report. Investors seemed optimistic about the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening strategy and its impact on the U.S. economy. This positive momentum was seen as a sign that interest rate cuts could be on the horizon.
Jim Cramer described Monday as the beginning of a “benign week” for the market. He highlighted the absence of key economic data releases or statements from the Fed that could sway market sentiment in the coming days. This lack of significant events was suggested to create a calmer trading environment, giving investors a break from potential market-moving news.
Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz’s comments on the need to enhance the U.S. store experience to regain customers were also discussed during the livestream. This came in response to a challenging quarter for the coffee giant, which led to a cut in the full-year forecast and a drop in the stock price. Jim Cramer expressed surprise at the severity of the quarter’s performance, indicating that while a bad quarter was expected, it turned out to be worse than anticipated. Despite these challenges, the CNBC Investing Club did not take any action on Starbucks stock, which saw a slight increase on Monday.
Walt Disney experienced a gain of about 1.5% after analysts from Deutsche Bank and Loop Capital raised their price targets for the stock. Disney’s earnings report was scheduled for Tuesday morning, with a focus on the company’s direct-to-consumer business, including streaming services like Disney+ and Hulu. Investors were eager for positive updates on this segment, particularly as it was anticipated to have another unprofitable quarter. Any progress towards breakeven in this area was considered good news for shareholders.
