DAVE BRIGGS: All right, we are just a couple of minutes away from the closing bell. A lot of green on the board. Let's bring in Brian Cheung to break down the market action. What do you see, my friend?

BRIAN CHEUNG: Well, only a few seconds left to go, but we can see right now we are in the green. Dow Jones Industrial Average up half a percent. The NASDAQ composite up 1.3% and the S&P 500 up about 1%. If we take a look at some trending tickers, we have a lot of individual stocks on the move this afternoon.

When we take a look at, obviously, the companies that just reported earnings, you had Tesla after the bell, which you very thoroughly went through recently. That stock up almost 10%. AT&T down 8% after reporting their earnings this morning. American Airlines, United, also hit the tape this morning.

I want to call attention to 1Life Healthcare. Again, this is behind 1Medical. You see shares up 69%. Now, that's because of the fact that we got that announcement from Amazon this morning, $3.9 billion deal. I also want to call attention to Altice USA, moving up 22% off of a Bloomberg report they could spin out their business that's in the South and also in the central parts of the country.

And then also, lastly, I want to call attention to HelloFresh, a report that that company is lowering outlook on inflation. That stock down 18%. So a lot of movement currently in the markets right now, as we do get a little bit closer to the closing bell on this Thursday, July 21.
