| 0:00.0 | Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wobner, live from Post 9, here at the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 0:04.2 | This maker breakout begins with renewed tariff talking this now very unsettled market. |
| 0:08.6 | The scorecard with 60 to go in regulation looks like this. |
| 0:12.1 | Cut to the chase worth of lows. |
| 0:13.5 | Stocks have been down from the jump today as President Trump escalates his trade war with Europe, |
| 0:19.0 | this time over Greenland. |
| 0:20.9 | The S&P falling below its 50-day moving average for the first time since late last year, |
| 0:25.9 | down 2% as we speak. |
| 0:28.6 | So it's given up 6,800 there. |

| 1:16.8 | What do you do about it? Well, I mean, I'm not surprised, right? You know, we did this dinner with |
| 1:21.9 | eight risk officers last week, and I couldn't get anyone to say anything bearish about anything at all. |
