Jobs Report Beats, Tech's 2024 Start Not "Magnificent," Middle East Conflict Impact 1/05/24

Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer led off the show with market reaction to the government's key December employment report: 216,000 non-farm jobs were added last month, exceeding economists' forecasts --  but October and November payrolls were revised lower. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%. The anchors discussed what to make of the early 2024 slump in tech and "Magnificent 7" stocks -- with the Nasdaq in the midst of a five-day losing streak. Also in focus: Red Sea attacks and the Middle East conflict’s impact on everything from Chevron and Maersk to McDonald's, Microsoft moves closer to Apple's valuation, Constellation Brands' earnings, Costco's sales jump, a look ahead to next week's bank earnings and Jim's CEO interviews from the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer Squawk on the Street Disclaimer
