All right, guys, thanks so much. Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wobner live from Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange. This maker-baker begins with another choppy day for the major averages. We'll show you the scorecard here with 60 to go in regulation. We really have been sliding deeper into the red as the day has progressed. We're kind of hanging out there. Been in a bit of a range, too. Geopolitical

concerns as well today as more tariff talk is all being blamed for the skittishness within the

markets. The sector picture largely mixed today in terms of individual names making news and making

And then, of course, we've had a couple of tepid treasury options today, the 30-year, 10-year,

wasn't great yesterday. And after this big run, I mean, it wouldn't be, you know, surprising to see

with those news items some sort of a back down here.

Is it the pause that refreshes? Do you think it's one of those dips that's going to be bought?

Yeah, I think it is. I mean, because the earnings are really coming in so well. And the guidance

is coming in really well, you know, given the upcoming tariffs.
