Summary
Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with market reaction to the better-than-expected April jobs report, plus where AI fits into the labor picture. The anchors also discussed layoffs at Cloudflare, Upwork and BILL.com — the companies' announcements came within a 24-hour period. CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator joined the program at Post 9 to talk about the company's AI strategy, as well as the guidance that sent the stock lower. Another record setting day for the Nasdaq, with Nvidia and Apple hitting all-time highs. Also in focus: Anthropic's push toward a $1 trillion valuation, earnings winners and losers including Airbnb and Coinbase, U.S.-Iran deal watch. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer
