A tug of war between the Bulls and Bears today with the major averages finishing essentially flat,

even as mega cap tech hit fresh highs.

That flatness really belying the volatility we saw in the trading session.

That's the scorecard on Wall Street,

but the action is just getting started.

Welcome to Closing Bell Overtime.

I'm Morgan Brennan with John Fort.

And yes, stocks staging a late-day comeback

after a larger than expected inflation increase last month.

Tank, once again, outperforming the broader market and coming up an exclusive with IBM CEO,

Arvin Krishna, on the company's AI and consulting businesses.

They're now officially trading on Wall Street.

We will discuss how that is impacting the crypto world,

well we are joined by the CEOs of Marathon Digital and BitGo.

First though, the major average is closing well off the lows of the session on track

to close higher for the week.

Joining us now is Candor Fitzgerald, head of derivatives and cross asset.

But I guess you can't look at Bitcoin because it's tended to be good for that low quality stuff, and it's been higher.
