Countdown to David Faber's "Jeopardy!" Guest Hosting Debut, First Trading Day of August -- The S&P 500 Aims for a 7th Straight Month of Gains, The Reopening Trade vs. the Delta Variant, and Square Strikes a $29 Billion All-Stock Deal

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber highlighted the kickoff of David's week as guest host of the iconic game show "Jeopardy!" -- including a special Jeopardy!-inspired version of “The Mad Dash." The anchors took an in-depth look at what to expect from the markets in August as Wall Street enters the first trading day of the month, with the S&P 500 in the midst of a six-month win streak. The reopening trade a major part of the discussion as more companies require their employees to get vaccinated. The anchors also reacted to Dr. Anthony Fauci's comments about the spread of the COVID Delta variant and whether we could see further lockdowns in the future. On the M&A front: Square announcing its largest-ever acquisition -- the digital payments company agreeing to acquire Australia’s Afterpay for about $29-billion in stock. The CFO of Square and Co-CEO of Afterpay appeared on the program to talk about the deal and how it will help Square capitalize on the growing "buy now, pay later" trend. Also in focus: The debut of Disney's motion picture "Jungle Cruise" tops the weekend box office and gets a boost from streaming, plus stock winners and losers -- including Estee Lauder falling and Levi Strauss rising sharply in reaction to Wall Street analyst calls.
