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. The Fed is winning Watching oil Sticking with DIS 1. The Fed is winning Stocks rose Monday ahead of the release of the U.S. Labor Department's monthly consumer price index (CPI) report and the Federal Reserve's December meeting. Despite bearish commentary from bank executives about the slowing global economy, we expect the CPI report on Tuesday to demonstrate the Fed's inflation strategy is working , evidenced in part by lower gasoline prices. Data on consumer prices is likely to influence the Fed's decision over future interest rate hikes. The S & P 500 rose 0.52% in midmorning trading, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.32%. 2. Look to buy oils on a dip Oil prices climbed Monday morning, with West Texas Intermediate crude — the U.S. oil benchmark — up 3.7%, at $73.65 a barrel. Shares of oil stocks followed suit, including the Club's energy holdings. But if oil were to come back down, we would consider adding shares of Devon Energy (DVN), or buying back some shares of Halliburton (HAL) that we trimmed earlier this month . 3. Disney is a buy Morgan Stanley cut its price target on Disney (DIS) to $115 from $125, arguing that CEO Bob Iger is confronting secular and cyclical headwinds. But we're sticking with Disney, particularly as we believe Iger won't tolerate the dismal state of the entertainment conglomerate's balance sheet. Shares of Disney were up around 0.77% Monday, at $94.15 a share. "Buy the heck out of the stock," Jim Cramer said Monday. "This is my favorite, other than Constellation Brands (STZ)."
