The Markets and Tamer Inflation Data, SEC Chair Gensler Heads to the Hill, Apple Product Event Countdown, Goldman Sachs CFO to Step Down, Sen. Warren Urges the Fed to Break Up Wells Fargo, and AOC's "Tax the Rich" Message at the Met Gala

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off the show with inflation data that gave futures an early boost: The Consumer Price Index for August coming in up 0.3-percent -- the lowest level in seven months -- with the core rate (minus food and energy) up 0.1-percent. Both readings tamer than Wall Street estimates. Cramer says that CPI "flies in the face of the bearish narrative" on the markets, though he added to keep an eye on seasonality and that we could be in for the roughest four months of the year. The anchors also previewed SEC Chair Gary Gensler's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, including planned remarks about regulating cryptocurrency and referencing the "Wild West." Carl, Jim and David also explored what to expect from Apple's product event -- the company slated to unveil new iPhone models and other devices. Goldman Sachs announced a change in its executive ranks: Stephen Scherr will step down as CFO at the end of the year.
