Welcome to Closing Bell. I'm Scott Wobner live from post nine here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This make a break hour begins with the tension between rates and stocks.

And what happens to the rally at fields keep rising even for the alleged right reasons the strong economy.

We'll ask our experts over this final stretch,

including Pimco's Aaron Brown,

who reveals her playbook in just a few moments.

We're looking forward to that.

In the meantime, take a look at the scorecard

with 60 minutes to go in regulation.

Been a battle for much of this day, as elevated yields have capped the market once again, a much stronger

than expected retail sales report showing just how robust the economy remains. The dollar

still catching a bid on those heightened tensions in the Middle East. Gold and

oil are both lower and two stock standouts from the Dow to highlight for youoya Goldman, a nice winner after its earnings this morning.

Salesforce, though, selling off sharply

on a report of another possible acquisition.

It does take us to our talk of the tape.

How much are stocks currently at risk and will earnings save the day for the rally?

Let's ask our panel. Dan Greenhouse is the chief strategist at Solis Alternative Asset Management.

Lauren Goodwin, portfolio strategist with New York Life Investments, both with me at

Post Nine.

Good to see you.

I begin with you.
