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 Friday’s key moments. 1. Wall Street was mixed Friday but still heading for solid weekly gains. The 10-year Treasury yield dipped, but the S & P 500 was little changed after the August reading of the Federal Reserve’s favorite inflation gauge came in tame. Headline and core PCE were getting closer to the Fed’s 2% inflation target. Next Friday, investors get the September jobs report, the latest look at the health of the second part of the central bank’s dual mandate: the labor market. The economic data between now and the Fed’s meeting on Nov. 6-7 will be key to how much further interest rates will be cut. 2. Shares of Best Buy rose more than 2% on Friday after JPMorgan added the stock to its analyst focus list. The analysts have had a buy-equivalent rating on the stock since February, which is around when we started buying. Looking back, that was a good call with shares up 30% year to date. JPMorgan sees value because investors are underappreciating the AI-powered personal computer cycle and the potential for TVs and appliances to inflect as housing improves. Other housing plays in our portfolio include Stanley Black & Decker and Home Depot . 3. Wells Fargo shares were slightly lower Friday, one day after popping 5% on an encouraging Bloomberg News report about the Fed-mandated asset cap, which was put in place at the bank in 2018. Bloomberg reported that Wells Fargo submitted a third-party review of its risk and control overhauls to the Fed for sign-off to remove the cap. Despite Thursday’s gains, Wells Fargo shares are having a tough month. The bank delivers quarterly earnings on Oct. 11. Our other financial name, Morgan Stanley , reports Oct. 16.
