Carl Quintanilla, David Faber and Mike Santoli led off the show with a preview of Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech to the Jackson Hole virtual symposium and what it could mean for markets, with Wall Street looking for clues about Fed policy when it comes to inflation and tapering as the Delta variant outbreak impacts the economy. Steve Liesman interviewed Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester about her perspective on tapering, inflation and supply constraints, plus the role COVID vaccinations are playing in the recovery. The anchors also reacted to the big movers of the morning: Peloton falls after reporting a wider-than-expected quarterly loss and stating in an SEC filing that it has been subpoenaed by the government for documents on injuries related to its products. A different story for Gap -- shares higher on better-than-expected quarterly results and raised guidance, power by strong demand for its Old Navy and Athleta brands. Also in focus: Apple says it has resolved a class-action lawsuit from U.S. developers over its App Store policies, Dell Technologies and HP fall despite earnings beats, and what's driving the rally in energy stocks.
