And welcome to closing bell. I'm Melissa Lee. And today for Scott Wapner, we are live from Post 9 at the New York Stock Exchange.

This maker break hour begins with unsteady stocks. Investors looking for direction as we await those much-anticipated trade talks this weekend between U.S. and Chinese officials.

The president hinting more trade deals are coming while floating a cut to U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports.

Here's how things are looking with 60 minutes to go into the trading session.

We are up red just fairly on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

We're pretty much flat here across the board on the SEP as well as the NASDAQ.

Energy stocks, though, proving to be a bright spot today's session.

That group is the top performing sector today.

Crypto continuing its run. We'll have more on that

later this hour in shares of Tesla. They are higher. Once again, that stock heading for its third

straight weekly gain. That takes us to the talk of the tape and what this weekend's trade

talks will mean for the market and for your money. Amon Javvers is at the White House with more on what

we can expect out of Switzerland this weekend. Amen. Melissa, everybody's watching those trade talks in

Geneva as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent arrives in Switzerland for those talks

with the Chinese side and the president got a lot of attention earlier today

when he threw out on social media the idea of dialing back the tariffs from

145% all the way back

to 80% that he said that seems like a good idea to me. He said it's up to Scott Beebe by which

he meant the Treasury Secretary. Of course, ultimately in the end, it is going to be up to

the president. And that's why I think folks were really focused on what Caroline Levitt,

the White House press secretary,

said here just a couple of hours ago when she was asked about that comment.
