Welcome to closing bell. I'm Leslie Picker in for Scott Waffner. Today we're live from post

nine at the New York Stock Exchange. This make or break hour begins with new highs. Investors

focusing on upbeat earnings lifting sentiment while President Trump says he's extending the

U.S. ceasefire with Iran. Here's your score with 90 to go in regulation. You can see the Dow up about 0.4%.

The S&P at 0.8%.

The NASDAQ, the clear standout here, up about 1.3%.

Of course, all in the green today.

But the NASDAQ getting a fresh all-time intraday high.

And close to session highs on all of the major indexes. The mega caps getting a nice

boost as well, really leading the day here. Apple up more than 2% Amazon up about 2 as well.

And alphabet popping up 1.7% after unveiling chips for AI training. It's the latest shot

at NVIDIA as that space becomes increasingly crowded

and competitive. Software names also getting another boost today. Service now of about 3%

Adobe of 3.5% as the IGV goes for eight straight days of gains. What a turnaround we've seen there.

Tesla, another bright spot of about a third of a

percent today as it prepares to report results after the bell, a short period of time, about an

hour and a half from now. We'll speak with a star analyst and a shareholder in just a few moments.

And that, of course, takes us to our talk of the tape, and it is this record rally and whether or not it's here

to stay. Let's ask our panel. Trivariate research is Adam Parker, Capital Area Planning's Malcolm

Etheridge and Cities. Scott Croner are all here today. Adam and Malcolm are CNBC contributors.

Adam, we'll start with you because you are here on set with me today.

Quite a rally today.
