SEANA SMITH: We're minutes away from the closing bell. Let's kick it over to Jared Blikre for a closer look at the action here in the final couple of minutes. Jared.

JARED BLIKRE: That's right. And let's take a look at the YFi Interactive because we see the markets, well, it's a whole lot of chop going into the close. We had some ups and some downs. And you can see the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ right around the unchanged. Russell 2000 just a little bit worse. We're going to call this a choppy day. And just looking at the sector action, kind of indicative of split board here. We got real estate and healthcare in the forefront, along with utilities kind of in a defensive setup.

And then to the downside, energy and materials really standing out here. Energy down 4%. Might remember late-- or early last week, we did have a situation where energy was down 5% or 6%. And that had to do with margin calls. Now, today, the story is really about crude oil. We saw crude oil coming down all the way to $101 and change. And just heading into the closing bell here, we're going to take a look at crude oil, settling at 105.42.
