The market's sharp rotation may be winding down — plus, Meta hits pause on AI hiring

Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Thursday's key moments. 1. Stocks were modestly lower Thursday, extending the S & P 500 's losing streak to five straight sessions since last week's record high. The acute market rotation over the past two days out of stocks with premium valuations appears to be easing. "It usually takes about three days for these rotations to play out. But it looks like it might be a day and a half," said Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. Looking ahead, investors are awaiting Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech on Friday. "That's likely going to move markets," Jeff said. During a CNBC interview that aired Thursday, Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid expressed hesitancy about a widely expected September interest rate cut. 2. Meta Platforms hit pause on its artificial intelligence hiring spree, according to The Wall Street Journal, after onboarding more than 50 AI researchers and engineers. The report was confirmed by a Meta spokesperson who characterized the freeze as "basic organizational planning." The latest action should not be viewed as a slowdown in AI investments, Jeff said, noting the millions of dollars that Meta has spent on massive compensation packages to new hires. "Maybe this is actually a good thing that they are kind of holding off on hiring. They're letting their team work and put their plan in place," said Jeff. 3. Walmart posted a quarterly revenue beat but missed on earnings per share. "You don't really see that too often from Walmart," Jeff said, though he added that it appears to be a result of one-time expenses unrelated to core operations. Walmart stock sank more than 4.5% on the news, taking our retail names — Amazon , Costco , and TJX — with it. Walmart's same-store sales in the U.S. did go up 4.6% versus the 4.1% expected. Similarly, TJ Maxx and Marshalls parent TJX reported a 4% rise in comps on Wednesday. 4 . Boeing is in talks to sell as many as 500 planes to China, according to Bloomberg. It's good news for the aerospace industry and a positive sign that trade talks between Beijing and the U.S. are going well. "This type of deal could get taken away in an instant if there is some type of escalation in tariff threats between the two [countries]," Jeff said. The Club added Boeing to our Bullpen back in April on the idea that planes could be used as bargaining chips by countries looking to reduce trade deficits. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long META, TJX. See here for a full list of the stocks.)

An under-the-surface market divergence could spell trouble for Wall Street

Breadth isn't keeping up with the S & P 500 's rally to record levels this summer, according to LPL Financial. About 65% of stocks in the S & P 500 index are currently trading above their 200-day moving average, which is commonly used as a measure of longer-term performance trends. That's below the average of 74% seen when the benchmark average itself is within 3% of all-time highs, according to data from Adam Turnquist, LPL's chief technical strategist. "Historically, most of the time, breadth was higher than now when the market was in record-high territory," Turnquist told clients in a recent note. That might spell bad news for investors, given that market rallies are considered more durable when breadth is widening, Turnquist said. .SPX YTD mountain S & P 500 in 2025 This comes as the S & P 500 has faced a choppy August and looks headed Thursday for a fifth straight decline. The broad market index is still up more than 8% in 2025. "Diverging market breadth can persist for meaningful periods, especially in today's mega-cap-oriented market," Turnquist wrote to clients. "However, continued negative deviations between price and breadth point to concentration risk and potential structural weakness that could be exposed if/when the broader market breaks below key support levels." While breadth — which measures the degree of participation in the summer rally — isn't up to historical standards, Turnquist acknowledged that it's showing signs of improvement. He noted that the share of S & P 500 stocks above the 200-day average has surged from just 19% earlier this year.

Dow Futures Drop Hard as Trump vs. Fed Battle Escalates

Stock futures were under pressure Thursday morning as Donald Trump's war of words with the Federal Reserve escalated. The former president is calling for big rate cuts and even demanded Fed Governor Lisa Cook resign over alleged mortgage fraud. Cook rejected that call, but the feud is raising doubts about the central bank's independence ahead of Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole tomorrow.

The clash comes at a sensitive moment. Powell has already been criticized by Trump for not lowering interest rates more quickly. Investors are bracing for Powell's remarks, which could set the tone for markets going into September's policy meeting. Tech Rout Adds to the Pressure At the same time, Wall Street's tech darlings are still sliding. The 'Magnificent Seven' stocks — Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta (META), Nvidia (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA) — sold off for a second straight day. These companies have fueled much of this year's market gains, but now investors are questioning whether the artificial intelligence boom has overheated. Trump's own policies are also in play. His administration recently confirmed it is considering taking a stake in Intel. This raised questions about the outlook for tech and government involvement in the sector. Other Movers Earnings from retailers are another theme this week. Walmart (WMT) and Ross Stores (ROST) report today after Home Depot and Lowe's delivered results earlier this week that impressed investors. Futures reflected the caution. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 131 points, or 0.3%. S&P 500 futures slipped 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were off 0.1%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury was steady at 4.311%, and the two-year held at 3.767%. Key Takeaway Markets are being pulled in two directions. Trump's escalating fight with the Fed is fueling uncertainty about interest rates and policy, while the tech sector's selloff is shaking confidence in this year's market leaders. Together, those pressures are keeping Wall Street on edge as it heads into Powell's big speech in Jackson Hole.
