Welcome to closing bell and Scott Wobner live for post night here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This make-a-break hour begins with rising stocks as a trade agreement with the UK gets announced,

called by some a small win. Nonetheless, though, enough to send the major averages higher this hour.

Here's how things look. With 60 to go in regulation, we are, as I said, in the green across the board, nicely so as well. We'll have more

from the White House in just a moment on the comments by President Trump today that added a leg

to the jump in the market. Alphabet, worth watching. It's bouncing back today following one of its

worst days in years on concerns about its search business. There's the stock, two and two-thirds

percent. Most of the other mega caps are all

slow higher today. Tesla, a better than 4 percent worth watching, and we will certainly do

that. It does take us to our talk of the tape. How far can this bounce back go? Let's first go

to the White House and our own Aman Jabbers. He was in the Oval Office earlier today.

Amen? Yes, Scott. The president said it's a good time to Office earlier today. Amen.

Yes, Scott. The president said it's a good time to buy stocks today. The comment came in the context of his discussion about the tax bill coming up. They say is going to stimulate economic

activity. They say there are a lot more trade deals waiting behind this one. The president

expressing some optimism about the negotiations that

are going to happen in Switzerland with the Chinese delegation and Treasury Secretary Scott Besant

over the weekend. Here's what he said, though, on the stock market. Take a listen.

I believe it's the biggest bill of its kind. I'll let you know we have to get a vote,

but we have a lot of support for that bill bill and if that happens on top of all of these trade deals that we're doing

this country will hit a point that you better go out and buy stock now let me

tell you this this country will will be like a rocket chip that goes straight up.

Scott, the president there saying, you better go out and buy stock now.
