If Kayla Tausche is at the nyse to tell us whats happening on the floor. Stocks for the dow and s p are in the red right now. The dow having its nay rowest trading range today since august 18th. The nasdaq has been flirting with the flat line for the last hour. It is just slightly into positive territory. The dow, the s p and nasdaq though even with todays trade all remain out of correction territory. Lets get the trading action at the nyse. Bob pisani joins me on the floor. Michelles getting ready to go on vacation, a lot of other traders are and very happy to be a somewhat normal august day here. The s p 500, very narrow trading range. Only 13 points. Got a little droop in the middle of the day. Stan fischer speaking exclusively with Steve Leisman. Some interpret him to be a little more hawkish. I didnt hear it but the markets seemed to react that way. Down just a little bit. Very narrow trading range, 13, 14point bottom to the top. Volume is heavy but declining. Heavy for august but
Be more big moves next week. Oil staging another big rally today. Yesterday traders said it was mostly Short Covering. Could this be the beginning of a real rebound for the commodity . Weve got rbc commodity guru helena croft joining us live. We have bob pisani tracking the action here at the New York Stock Exchange. Kate rogers at the nasdaq and jackie d at the nymex. Finally more typical august day. There is a little fireworks in the energy space. S p 500, a narrower range, about 15 points. That would be more than normal on a typical day. Compared to what weve seen, other than a slight swoon in the middle of the day, its been fairly straight and narrow here. I want to show you what markets are doing here. Well call the trading range narrow. Volume on the heavy side. Not as heavy the prior four, five days. Heavy for a day in august. Breadth 32 advancing to declining. Thats been holding other than a droop in the middle of the day. Volatility is flat. Look at names like mid state petrol
John people act as if there are only two choices in this election, republicans and democrats but thats not true. There is one other party that is on the ballot in all 50 states and thats the libertarians. Tonight they are president ial and Vice President ial candidate gary johnson and bill weld will take questions from you, for me at home via social media, from you in the studio audience and from the street. Thats where the first question comes from. What would you do to create jobs . Government doesnt create jobs. The private sector does. What would you do . You can count on certainty when it comes to rules and regulations and when it comes to hiring, when it comes to being in business for yourself. John certainty will bring jobs. That is true. Small businesses dont need big tax cuts. They just need to know that its a oneway ratchet and taxes are only going in one direction, down in if we internalize that they will build that second factory and employ another 15 people. My question is
