And welcome to closing bill everybody. I am Brian Sullivan in for Scott once again and we are as always live here at post nine at the New York Stock Exchange and we begin this Friday folks with stocks rallying.

That's up for yesterday's big pullback. The major average is now on course for weekly gains.

In fact, their best gains of the year.

Hard to believe but true investors shaking off another hotter than expected inflation read,

an index on total spending known as the

P. C. E. Ticking higher in March that is pushing Wall Street's dream of rate cuts

either further out of

reach or maybe later in the year we're gonna find out we got a great panel to kick things off

for the meantime here is your scorecard with 60 minutes to go on regulation

green across the board got the Dow

S&P and NASDAQ up and look at that.

The NASDAQ is up 2% and like I just said, hard to believe but true,

NASDAQ on pace for its best week of the year.

In fact, best week since November. And we've had a huge sell-off at one point yesterday.

What a turn around. I think my neck hurts from the whiplash. All right. Comes of course from what else? Big Tech,

the strong reports from Microsoft and alphabet move those

names and the markets higher Amazon it is also up ahead of reporting their results next

week all of this taking us all of us together watching listening here in person to our talk of the tape is this snap back in stocks here to stay

What a panel we've got Eric Johnston of Kander Fitzgerald, Courtney Garcia of Payne

Capital Management and Brian Leavitt of Investco. Courtney, of course, is a C. NBC contributor.

Thank you all for being here.

It's your take on this.
