Welcome to Closing Bell. I'm Scott Wotner live from Post 9 right here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This make-or-break hour begins with markets on edge as a critical week gets underway.

Clearly, the events in the Middle East have introduced a new level of risk for investors but markets

they are strengthening as we move into this final hour.

Take a look at your scorecard with 60 minutes to go in regulation.

We're at the highs of the day across the board and that's despite those

geopolitical concerns even the NASDAQ which was the big loser earlier has

turned around it's good for one half of one percent but everything right now is in the green

that ahead of earnings and important inflation data still to come later in the

week so there's a lot still ahead of us obviously also worth noting today the bond markets closed

but importantly bond futures suggest a much needed rate relief could be on the way

tomorrow as yields look as though they'll be decidedly lower and it'll be

interesting to see of course how that

cycles through the equity market but perhaps some of it already is as we showed

you what the stock market is doing perhaps in part based on what's happening in

the futures market at least as it relates to

bonds takes us to our talk of the tape the risk reward for your money and

whether it's about to get better as some are suggesting let's ask Adam

Parker he's the founder and CEO of Trivariate

research a c. NBC contributor with me as you see at post nine interesting turn

in the market yeah you think it is in part because of what the futures are telling us that bond yields

could do tomorrow and we'll get some relief?
