This make-or break hour begins with the wait for Nvidia, the chip dip, and what to make of rising rates and the impact they could have on this record-setting rally. We'll ask our experts over the final stretch. The scorecard looks like that. With 60 to go and regulation today, it's been a mostly red day, modestly so. |
| 0:23.7 | You can see not big losses across the board. |
