. >> erasing the losses for the year, bertha coombs has more on the rally.re about 200 points away from an all-time high, about 4% for the nasdaq, but bob was talking about the small caps. if you look at the s&p small cap 600, these are sort of the biggers small caps. they've had the best gains year to day. this is really what is working. they're not just as new highs, but you're seeing these stocks actually providing the leadership now. a look at some of the other sector highs, the etf highs we saw. mid caps, small caps, those are the biggest gainer, but today some of the biggest volume was in that mid cap etf, also when it came to a big cap tech. chip stocks as well. chip etfs are at a new high. some of the tech highs, we're seeing a bit of a rotation. cisco today joins the club, not an all-time high. it will take a while, however, 52-week high for the year, just shy of $30 today, other bick-tech names, include intuit, game stocks are all riding that pokemon wave it seems. amazon today had illustrate a fresh all-time high. last year if you bought on prime

bertha coombs is at the nasdaq, where the index has been flirting with 5,000 today, and mike santelli looks at whether the earnings may be coming to an end. bob, start us off. >> we have picked report highs without the help from some of the biggest players right now. what's really maried is the consumer staples stock. but that's what's really moved things forward. consumer discretionary has also helped a bit. they've all lagged notably here, without some of the support, for example, financials, energy is a much smaller group than it was just a year and a half ago. a lot has to go right in the second half of the year in the earnings situation. the dollar has to behave, interest rates have to behave, and oil has to sort of stay where it is or go up a bit. i do want to point out we are well shy of historic highs in other important areas, like the transports, russ the 200, and s&p 500400. >> we've flirting with it all day, on pace for the eighth straight day of gains. it's rallied by 6% for near breakeven for the year. just can't quite get there. b biotechs have seen the biggest bounce po

bertha coombs at the nasdaq with more. >> the nasdaq had a rough time of it compared to the other majors, and not at that 5000 level since new year's eve, all year long. it has made a big recovery from the february 11th lows when it hit around 4209. the 20th will be the anniversary this month of its all-time high of 5231. still got 4.5% away from there, but among the stocks today that are moving the highest, a lot of commerce and internet stocks, including jd, by dew aadoo and tweet from the elon musk about new secret mystery plan for tesla he plans to reveal at some point. amazon the biggest force hitting yet another all-time high. the one fang player operating on all cylinders in terms of gains. netflix has a way go and apple a drag on this market. back to you. >> one to watch for the afternoon. whether or not it can close above that magic number. netflix not helping saying could be huge downside. winners since the last s&p high, nvidia, top gainer, up 143%. >> and amazon. >> yeah. unbelievable. over to hq check in with the judge and get "the half." >>> all right, guys, thanks so much

let's get right now to bertha coombs for a market flash. bertha. >> brian, we've got the insurers today under pressure on reports that the doj may be poised to file suit against the companies that are trying to merge. at issue in aetna and humana is the private medicare plans for seniors. at issue in the anthem-cigna deal is their overlap when it comes to commercial employer plans. we are told that there could be a deal announced as early as this week. humana shares hitting new 17 month low on the news. >>> is 2016 the year we finally hit peak apartment? we're talking about real estate and your money ahead. you know what, guys? there's a lot of tree branches and dry brush over here. we should probably move the bonfire over there.

bertha, thank you. let's bring in greg ip in and out from the "wall street journal."tly wrote a piece about the divergence between falling bond yields and this rally in stocks. saying bond investors don't expect economic catastrophe. they simply assume that central banks will act as if catastrophe is around the corner. greg joins us now more for. good to have you on board, sir. should we talk about japan? because that seems to be a big impetus behind this rally. >> yeah, the talk in japan right now is that there's going to be some kind of fiscal stimulus joined with monetary stimulus, to get the economy going, which is actually one of the risks i think in this bond market rally, kelly. after brexit, the unanimous vote of stock and bond markets is this was terrible for the economy. stocks went down, so did bond yields. but stocks have come all the way back up and bond yields are still down. i think bond yields are basically telling you, we expect that central banks are just going to be so biased to pulling the trigger, to do more, no matter what the shock is, whether i

let's set it over to bertha, who's watching events. >> finally positive for the year. it hasn't really been with the help of the large cap. the nasdaq 100 still fractionally negative. still both more one 4% of the all-time highs aier. apple is a big reason why. apple any any of year to date. still a lot of concern about its transition here, as it moves on to some in phones and whether it might have been some new oomph. the real stars here, sort of quietly andly, as we've had this big comeback have been the small caps and mid caps. the russell 2000, i want to focus on the small-cap 600. it's at a 52-week high, but take a look at the year to date performance there. small caps are up, that particular index up about 10%. folks starting to look back at the companies with greater exposure here in the u.s., and take a look at the mid caps as well, also on fire. they are the leadership. these are the stocks quietly moving us higher. back to you. >> berth aa coombs, thank you very much. meanwhile, we're counting down to the top ten states good for business. where are we, scott?

bertha coombs is here. >> part of the reason why the nasdaq is underperformed, not gained as much as the larger big averages this week and still, not about 4% away from a new all-time high. that's one of the technicians are watching to see the nasdaq participate. it's always better when the nasdaq leads because of the fact that it has a wider variety of more rising kind of stocks. if you take a look at the travel stocks, not surprisingly today, they are among the biggest losers. priceline, expedia, all being pressured in the wake of the attack in france. we're also seeing some pressure when it comes to chip stocks. wells fargo with the call cutting not just nvidia. >> coming up, new all time highs for both the s&p 500 and the dow this morning for the fifth consecutive day. if we retain these levels or move higher into the close, that will be the first time we've achieved a week of gains in 18 years. we'll dive into what's driving the rally and how it should affect your decisions after this break. son. ge! a manufacturer. well that's why i dug this out for you. it's your grandpappy's
