| 0:00.0 | And the NASDA. How about the Dow? We're going to try and close back above 50K. It doesn't look like we're going to get there, though. See the tomorrow brings. Send it in overtime. We do have some earnings coming with Mike and now. The bell's bringing end to the training day at the NYSC. No Kid Hungry, doing the honors. And at the NASDAQ, realloys,ak realloys closing out the day. Welcome to closing bell overtime. We're live from Studio B at the NASAC market site. I'm Melissa Lee along with Mike Santoli. It was a risk-on rally today with S&P Nazak and Russell hitting all-time highs. The NASAC up 2%. S&P up about 1.5. Semis is a standout once again on the back of strong earnings results from AMD. |
| 0:39.3 | We'll hear from ARM in just a few minutes. |
| 0:41.6 | A drop in oil and bond yields also giving a boost to equities following some positive developments on Iran peace talks. |
| 0:47.9 | We're going to have more on all of that just ahead. |
| 0:50.1 | On our radar at the close, a seemingly unstoppable semi-surge, a surprisingly resilient economy, and betting on beef. |

| 1:47.6 | So that shows you that we haven't really gotten escape velocity yet. |
| 1:51.2 | At the same time, some stuff's crazy inside the market. |
| 1:53.7 | And the vertical movement, semis number one. |
| 1:55.6 | Since the low during the war, semis are up 40-something percent. |
