The bell is ringing out to the trading day at the NYSC Rays Summit, ringing the bell and up the NASDAQ. The astronauts from the Artemis 2 are doing the honors. Welcome to closing bell overtime. We're live in Studio B at the NASAC market site. I'm Melissa Lee, Mike Santolius, on assignment. And we are counting down to Apple's earnings just about half an hour away.
