liz claman, over you. liz: yeah. you and i will be right here tomorrow. charles: yep. liz: because i don't want to sound too, like, twilight zonish here, but we're about to enter a 24 the-hour time span that wall street has little, if any, experience dealing with. and that is the inavailability to trade stocks -- inability to trade stocks just as one of the most important monthly jobs reports gets released. ahead of tomorrow we've got the dow jones industrials slightly negative, down 11 points. s&p is up 12, the nasdaq up 87. russell 2000 up 2. now, in 17 and a half hours, 8:30 a.m. eastern time, the labor d. releases that non-farm payroll report for the month of march. economists anticipate 239,000 jobs were created last month but still robust but about 72,000 the less than we saw in february. now, the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 3.6%. so here is the conundrum. while the highly amendment thed number is crucial -- anticipate thed number is crucial because it'll give investors a sense of whether the market has cooled enough to stop the federal reserv

howard: joining us now to analyze the coverage, emily jashinsky and in new york, liz claman, host ofan countdown" on fox business week days at three eastern. emily, you have donald trump being indicted, and liberal pundits have been fantasizing about this for centuries. yet there's virtually nothing new in the indictment, a charge of false ifying business records which is a misdemeanor boot strapped to a possible potential felony violation of federal election law. are you struck by how much media criticism this case is drawing? >> it's interesting because i would say there is three buckets of media reaction. they said bragg's charges were weak, they were weaker than the ore cases that might be brought, or they're strong on their own merits. and the people in the weak camp, not just john bolton the, andrew mccabe, slate, vox, all of these places ran pieces critical of it. and yet the new york times, all these mainstream places, cnn, still were saying that it's strong. so to have those two things together where even harsh trump critics are in the media saying these cases are weak, i th

i hand it over to cheryl casone who's in for liz claman. cheryl: charles, we are going to continue our live, breaking news coverage right now. you are looking at those live pictures right there. this is manhattan the criminal court. former president donald trump has pled not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. fox news confirming this moments ago. president trump is the first former president to ever face criminal charges, to ever face a felony indictment. former president has expressed his desire to the speak to the cameras which, again, you're looking at these cameras right now on your screen. we are located right inside of the hallway on the 15th floor of the manhattan courthouse. the building, basically, is on lockdown right now with trump and his security service detail all inside. president trump is sill in that manhattan courtroom listening -- still in that manhattan courtroom listening to the list of charges against him. again, not guilty, president trump pleading not guilty. we do expect comments from the 45

here is liz claman. liz: it's never not interesting, okay folks we have one hour left to trade and it may come down to the final minutes to see whether the nasdaq can squeeze out a gain for the week. everybody is in the red at the very moment. we've got the dow jones industrials down 180 points the s&p down 13, nasdaq down 56, the russel down 20 points. now for the week, take a look right now on this friday, where we stand. see how close the nasdaq is to either dipping into negative or seeing that gain at the moment, the nasdaq looks to come out to the upside here for the week, but by barely, barely a bit here s&p up two-thirds of a percent on the week. the dow more comfortably in the green by more than 1%. for the dow at this hour though, you can distill the point loss in the dow right now, down to a boxing match between jpmorgan versus boeing. jpmorgan owns the good news on this session. this percentage gain at the moment of 7%, it was even higher earlier, marks the biggest one-day gain for jpmorgan sha

the bottom line, be a rock star but with that comes responsibility, liz claman. liz: yes. a rock star. yes, we want the green m&ms, and they have to be at a frozen temperature. charles: exactly. liz: that's on my rider form. folks, we have stocks that are once e again same as yesterday at this very moment, mixed, as investors wait with bathed breath for -- baited breath. the big consumer number that could provide the next catalyst to give the market direction. we are now just over 17 hours and 28 the minutes away from the crucial read, and because it's one of the most important pieces of data the federal reserve uses before deciding whether to continue hiking interest rates, stocks are waiting for that number. dow jones industrials at the moment had a prettied good good day, up about is 70 points -- i. the s&p up 13 points. the nasdaq down about 4 points, just call it flat at the moment, and the russell 2000 up 20. the dow leaders though really reflecting the strongest s&p sectors of this this hour, energy, materials and industrials. caterpillar, minnesota mining and manuf

liz claman -- the. liz: [speaking french] [laughter] thank you, charles. charles: see you later. liz: well, we kind of have stocks in a mixed picture as we kick off a major week where first quarter earnings and crucial economic numbers will make the difference between rallies and is selloffs. check the. the gauge down the on wall street, partly sunny with the dow jones industrials right now at the moment in the sun up 57 points. so that's where that is. but the russell's not bad either, it's up about 15 points. we do have some showers over s&p and the nasdaq though. the s&p, while earlier was up about 2 points, is down just under 1 point. the nasdaq down about 10 pointings. today is also the first opportunity investors have to the trade since that strong monthly jobs report came out on good friday, because the markets were closed. march saw a gain, in case you missed it, of 236,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate ticked down a tenth of a percent to 3.5%. and and how are stocks, bonds and everything else trading? what do investors hi? just look at government bonds. the 2-year popp

"the wall street journal" reporting moments ago that exxonmobil is in early stage talks with pioneer natural resources about a potential mega-keel. sources say the talks may not result in an acquisition, but they do, the tie-up could be the large largest oil deal in years. if you look at pioneer natural resources and that 1-year picture, if this were to happen, exxonmobil wouldn't be buying it at the highs of the year which would have been about $88 a share. -- 2 the 88 a share. pioneer, of course, a major shale driller here, is at $208. it closed there yesterday. exxonmobil, for its

so go, have a great weekend, but before you do any of that, stay where you are because liz claman's coming up. this last hour of trading, this week it's always consequential, but i think it's going to be another barn burner. liz: indeed. and for three days straight it has swirled around first republic, charles. we start with this breaking news, wall street and the banking world are watching first republic very closely as we kick off the final hour of trade for the week. it has been an absolutely brutal session for the california regional bank. shares of frc have been halted 24 times today alone and have plumed a new record low of $2.98. right now we've got it at $3.79, but the breaking news as we are waiting on any kind of headline out of this is that the u.s. government officials are leading urgent talks to rescue first republic. the company is likely heading toward fdic receivership. now, many case you don't know -- in case you don't know, a court appoints an independent receiver or trustee to manage all as pecks of a troubled company's business. it's not bankruptcy. the goal is to retur

liz claman, over to you. liz: yeah. finally, a really definitive number. the dow up 401 points. we do need to start with breaking news, truest financial shares are on the move to the upside, up about 2.7%. fox business has confirmed that truest -- income business. now, sources had been telling "the claman countdown" since this morning that yesterday afternoon the financial holding company laid off more than 100 employees. sources say the layoff ares are concentrated mostly in truest's memphis is and atlanta offices where truest securities is based, of course, in atlanta. this is a financial holding company that was the result of the 2019 suntrust bb&t merger. hundreds of traders bloomberg terminals had red dotted this morning meaning they were inactive or turned off. and this on a day where you just heard lauren simonetti say we had very strong inflation numbers. when i say strong, i mean strong as they were weak, and that is helping the markets at moment. so that would be unusual. charlie gasparino is bird-dogging the story. he's going to give us a window into whether this is y

i'm sure liz claman would agree. liz: oh, yes, 1 is 00,000 the %, gotta wrap i our arms around it. if you could realize wean the market action lines at this hour, the invisible ink would say beware the mixed market. the dow has been in the green for much of the session, kipping a couple of times into the red. right now it's up 87 points, but the s&p, nasdaq and russell still yanked down below the surface here. we've got the s&p down 12, nasdaq down 139, the russell down 21. the dow right now, yeah, it is up, but it's been a choppy day of trading, and it's at least for the moment been able to avoid the undertow that already had the s&p and nasdaq the in the red. let's show you the heat map, you know, you can see what's hoisting the blue chips higher, and it is john soften and johnson, jumping higher by more than 4% after its subsidiary, ltl management, reached a a i an $8.9 billion deal to settle lawsuits. the deal resolves some 60,000 claims, users developed cancer. and by the way that $8.9 billion amount vaults way over the previously proposed $2 billion sum, but j&j says settleme

so, liz claman, the andy warhol cookie jar, you're just going of to keep mitt your kitchen. liz: i already have dogs playing pocker -- poker in vel velvet in the kitchen. charles: that's your retirement fundsome if. liz: that is and my dad's fake spring shaw. thank you very much. breaking news, we need you to the take a look at the intraday chart of first republic ahead of it earnings report after the bell this afternoon. look at shares, they are popping 8%, not even the highs of the session which we hit earlier this morning. investor s, perhaps, bidding up the stock in the hopes that deposit flight, meaning bank customers pulling their funds during the quarter, was not as bad as anticipated. but, you know, that was not the case for zions bank in its earnings report last week. the salt headache-based financial said goes fits plummeted during the quarter by 16% but that the bank's balance sheet is fundamentally stable. investors, though, continuing to sell and at about $28 a share, zions is back to the low. it hit merely three years ago. coming up, a live report on how hard it

we've been really calm, its been really intriguing, but i think the fireworks are going to start so liz claman, i know you've got us covered into the weekend, but next week, get your shut eye, it's going to be tough. liz: i know over the weekend take the ambien, or whatever it is. charles, thank you very much. we've got all of the energy right now. 59 minutes left to trade for the week, and stocks are mixed at the moment, barely. i hate the word subdued, unless you're talking about a today toddler and then it's good but that's how you describe the session, the whole week. if we were to close the market right now we would mark losses not huge ones but losses nonetheless for the three majors dow jones industrials will probably close down around a quarter of a percent although you never know. i don't want to jinx anything, s&p 500 flat-to-slightly lower same with the nasdaq. the muted moves this week, coinciding with a steadily climbing probability the federal reserve will tighten rates for a tenth time come the may meeting and by the way that hitting a crescendo right now. fed funds futures show
