DC’s Debt Drama, Ford’s EV Push, Chip Challenges 5/22/23: David Faber and Jim Cramer began the hour by breaking down the markets, with the S&P and Nasdaq coming off their best weeks since late March. Investors are also looking at Washington D.C. as President Biden and Speaker McCarthy gear up to resume debt ceiling talks. Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that early June is a “hard deadline” for the federal government to raise the debt ceiling. The anchors then shifted gears to Ford, holding an investor day and outlining an updated plan for growing earnings over the next several years. In particular, the company focused on its EV’s by announcing that it is targeting to produce 2 million EVs per year by 2026.
