It is the last day of January and stocks are looking to end a strong month on a high node as we await some major catalysts later this week.

The NASDAQ leading again today is now up around 10% since the start of the year.

This is the make or break hour for your money.

Welcome to Closing Bell. I'm Mike Santoli in for Sarah Eisen.

Here's where we stand in the market. The S&P 500 gaining back most, although not all of what was given up yesterday we were up

two and a half percent last week down a bit more than 1 percent yesterday and now up

about 1 percent here you see the 10- year yield coming in a little bit and the Russell

2,000 small caps outperforming the January effect also often involve small

cap outperformance. Check out some of today's key earnings movers as well. GM is

jumping on strong earnings as well as solid guidance. UPS getting a boost on a

bottom line beat ExxonMobil also higher after that company beat earnings McDonald's,

lowered despite topping estimates and Caterpillar is at the bottom of the Dow today

after a profit miss.

Now we have a big show coming your way. We'll talk to FCC

Commissioner Brendan Carr for the latest on calls in Washington to ban Tik-Toc,

plus his thoughts on reports of a tighter crackdown on Huawei. And later Visa CEO Al-Kelli on consumer, the future of the payments industry, and much more.

Let's take a look here at a snapshot of the S&P 500 encompassing the entire nearly 13 months

since the S&P did peak for all time back last January.

And again, we've regained most of what was lost yesterday,

up close to 6% for the month.

One thing maybe you want to take note of

is we're still slightly below the early December high.
