Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with Jim live from Micron headquarters in Boise, Idaho. The chipmaker announced a $10 billion investment in a new AI and memory research lab. Cramer spoke exclusively with Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra about how the company is capitalizing on the AI boom. The anchors discussed a number of stories weighing on stocks: Walmart shares tumbled after the company missed on raised guidance and posted its weakest same-store sales growth in more than six years; Yields rebounded one day after the Treasury Department announced an increase in bond buybacks; Oil prices jumped after President Trump threatened "unprecedented" economic war against Iran. Also in focus: Strategy, Coinbase and Bitcoin extend their big rally sparked by Trump's White House meeting with crypto executives.
