There's a live look at the opening bell and, uh, we're taking a look at the nyse to kick things off.

You've got Palmer Square Management, uh, ringing the opening bell there, Palmer for capital management.

Excuse me, ringing the opening bell there and then you've got extra charge with the fun Fetty.

Yeah, tossing it up like lebron James before a game.

All right there.

You're seeing the bell ringers this morning.

Let's take a look at the futures.

Well, not the futures anymore.

The futures were mixed, but now as we begin today's trading activity, let's populate this chart for you.

Dow Jones industrial average right now, flat is barely to the downside here.

We'll give you a three day look just to show you how things have been going and faring over the course of this week as of right now, flats to start today's trading activity.

But here on this Friday's Eve, uh, you're actually seeing a full week view and, uh over the past four days trying to hold on to some gains here, the NASDAQ composite, you're seeing that flat but barely to the upside to begin today's trading activity.

But as of right, now past four days, solid move there, little rebound or a dead cat bounce whatever you wanna call it.

Uh, just call it higher S and P 500.

You've seen that over the past four days as well.

Holding on to some gains flat out of the gate though.

Let's take a look at some, the heat map activity here as we're taking a look at the 11 sectors in the S and P 500.

You've got some laggards, more gainers though than laggards as of right now.

Technology though, pulling up the caboose, it's down by about half a percent but leading the charge.

Yeah, take a look at communication services.

It's up by about 7/10 of a percent.

Hey, since I mentioned technology, let's just take a quick look at the NASDAQ 100 here.

You got a little bit of a meg CAPP tech slip up right now.

NVIDIA is down by about 7/10 of a percent that was seeing some gains pre market.

We've erased those.

We're now beginning the day in negative territory here and we'll give you a larger look at NVIDIA, let's say past five days, why not still up by about 8% over that period of time.

And then of course, as you're taking a look at the broader month to date for NVIDIA as well here.

Well, that's essentially uh well, actually that's past 30 days.

It should be uh 22 days anyway.

Uh up over that period of time, despite that little dip, OK. That's a look at tech, that's a look at all the sectors here, Shawna.
