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 Monday’s key moments. 1. Stocks are lower Monday as bond yields spike after Moody’s downgrade of the United States’ debt late Friday from its highest-possible rating (AAA) to its second-best designation (AA1), citing concerns about the national debt. Moody’s became the last of the three major credit rating agencies to downgrade the U.S. credit rating. Jim Cramer called the news a “distraction,” and advised investors to continue to buy stocks. The Club is taking advantage of the market’s weakness to add more shares of GE Vernova to the portfolio. 2. AI chipmaker Nvidia rolled out some new AI tech . Bank of America analysts said that the new “NVLink Fusion” program is the most important of Nvidia’s updates as it allows for AI infrastructure to combine Nvidia processors with different CPUs and custom chips. Nvidia’s stock was a huge winner last week — up 16% — after the chipmaker struck AI deals in the Middle East and tensions eased between the U.S. and China. CEO Jensen Huang on Sunday delivered the keynote address at the the Computex AI conference in Taipei. 3. Apple shares are taking a hit on Monday following a Bloomberg report about how Apple has spent billions on AI and doesn’t have much to show for it yet. The report cited the indefinite delay of the Siri upgrade as an example. According to Bloomberg, some employees are blaming the struggle to the quick-paced AI culture. Separately, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is concerned about Apple’s partnership with Alibaba to get Apple Intelligence in China. “Apple’s my No. 1 worry,” Jim said. 4.
