| 0:00.0 | The bell is bringing an end to the trading day at the NYSC, Zylam, ringing the bell and at the Nazak, Roke, doing the honors. Welcome to closing bell overtime. We are live from Studio B at the Nazak market site. I'm Melissa Lee along with Mike Santoli. Sox seeing a spike into positive territory in just the last hour of trading before reversing course. This is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu |
| 0:21.2 | says the country is helping the U.S. open the straight of Hormuz. The Dow off about 200 points. |
| 0:26.8 | The S&P and NASDAQ off about a quarter percent each. Energy and tech lead while materials |
| 0:31.5 | and staples lag. Tech turning positive for the year. More on the stock market and energy |
| 0:36.3 | market straight ahead. On our radar at the closed, FedEx set to report earnings. |

| 1:21.3 | the military objectives might be near at hand. He also says there are many possibilities for |
