Every weekday, CNBC Investment Club will host a live “Morning Meeting” with Jim Cramer at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a look back at Thursday’s key moments. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq retreated from all-time highs set in the previous session on Thursday after a weaker-than-expected inflation report led investors out of large technology stocks and into small-cap stocks. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the cost of goods and services, fell to its lowest level since 2021 in June, providing support for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates sooner rather than later. Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft held by the group all fell sharply. “Consumer Prices are really under control today,” Jim Cramer said. Shares of Morgan Stanley, Stanley Black & Decker and Best Buy soared on Thursday, giving us a look at which portfolios will benefit from a lower interest rate environment . Once borrowing costs fall, Morgan Stanley’s wealth management margins will come under less pressure. At the same time, lower interest rates could spur more housing market activity, which means stronger demand for tools maker Stanley Black & Decker’s products. Finally, Best Buy’s sales should increase when U.S. consumer spending on PCs and electronics picks up. Wells Fargo will kick off the banking industry’s quarterly earnings season on Friday. The club is monitoring changes to management’s net interest income (NII) guidance. The Wall Street firm previously forecast NII to fall 7% to 9% in 2024 as customers shift their savings to higher-yielding alternatives. We expect these estimates to be conservative to temper investor expectations. The stock rose 0.8% on Thursday.
