new york stock exchange. you have a lot of agricultural names on the equity side that are trading on this report as well. >> that'spoint. caterpillar stock, deere stock, all the big names that are affected by reports like this. not only that, fertilizer stocks, anything, farm equipment, fertilizer producers, wheat ending stock is 15 billion bushels higher than a month ago. that's the headline on the usda report. ear talking about a bigger forecast than originally projected. if you get another drop in prices, folks like caterpillar and deere, they see farmers not as profitable. farmers might not go buy new equipment or new fertilizer, seeds, et cetera, so it would be considered skittish. cheryl: one of the things that hurts caterpillar has been the global demand and there's some concern on caterpillar. this crop report confirms that. >> well, and on a big picture basis, this tells us a lot about the global economy. if we're seeing forecasts for less consumption and less demand for these crops, you're talking about still a global lowdown as far as the economy is concerned. it has a lot of implications, cheryl. chery

she's at the new york stock exchange, we got some biotech earnings including other big names as wellmicrosoft, ibm. those are all down. >> reporter: right. we're seeing google and ibm and microsoft to the downside, but technology has been the worst performing group today. the nasdaq's down 1.1% right now. david: jeez, it is still getting hard. once again, by the way, even some of the bears are now saying, jeez, it's so cheap, maybe now's the time to buy in. >> reporter: yeah, i don't think what to tell you. you can't give advice, but, whoa, looking at levels. we're closing at levels we haven't closed at since december of 2011. apple broke below 400 yesterday, below 390 today. what does tomorrow bring? liz: well, i'll tell you what today brought at least for verizon. it's moving really quickly but always to the upside here, really bucking the trend. >> reporter: right. verizon came out with earnings and did very well. verizon fires even. so they're hitting new fires, 10-year highs. while nokia is drowning.

new york stock exchange. good day for blackberry. >> right. is it hot or is it not? that's the question. well right now it is hot again. erry, right, the new q-10, those phones available in the u.k., they were on sale and sold out in about two hours which led blackberry executives to tout the company's new blackberry that everybody waited for about a year and a half and its keyboard and what a great specimen it is and that they have sold tens of millions much. that is what they expect they will sell, tens of millions. so according to the reports that we're seeing, the chief executive officer of blackberry is very hot on the potential for its new products. it is up about 13%, this month, dave, and as you noted above that $16 mark which is a big deal. back to you. david: good stuff. thank you very much, nicole. well, the s&p futures are closing in about a minute. let's head back to larry shover in the pits of the cme always try to get a prediction what is happening tomorrow by the close of the s&p futures. what seeing, larry? >> once again the markets are slow and choppy as once again we're waiting for very important and

well. to the floor show. traders at the new york stock exchange and imex to weigh in on a agreed day, teddy. >> a great day, lizthere's negative undercurrent, the volume is anemic, and commodities under pressure, and could be -- it could be -- >> you know, can we start those, in particularly, on the screen, get copper up. gold not healthy, but silver is scary as well. >> and that could be a dollar-euro play or a softening economy around the world. we had a very, very negative unemployment number out of the eurozone, and the transports are reversing, and, you know, it was the transports that really, if you are a dow theorist, that led to the overall market for many, many months, well ahead of the popular averages, so, yes, the averages are up, but i think you need to be a little cautious here. there are some negative signs, just beneath the service. liz: uh-huh. dan, you were with us at closing bells yesterday. what changed between then and now where we've had a very strong day, at least with equities? >> well, absolutely nothing other than the price of the s&p market right now. if you look at what we have, we h

new highs today. one sector doing particularly well, and meanwhile on the commodities front we have a surprise top performer. wait until you hear which one. let's go to nicole at the new york stock exchangendra's at the cme, we'll talk to her in just a minute. but these sort of defensive utilities look very healthy, nicole. >> reporter: that's right. whether it's good times or bad times in the market, one sector we always focus on are the you times, and take -- utilities. pinnacle west, for example, up nearly 1%,dte energy up as well. we see this group as a defensive play. now, i know you're seeing some down arrows here in energy, energy still holding on to a gain, but these names did hit some 52-week highs for the most part. as you noted, more than 40 names in the s&p 500 are at some new highs. so that's worth noting. and just to give you a glimpse of how many names on the s&p 500 are on the move, 331 up arrows and 160 to the downside. the rest are unchanged. and then, of course, on our dow we have those other names hitting highs like disney and j&j. liz: sandra, i don't know if you heard ben willis at the top of the show say he is more nervous today than he has been in four years about

new york city grocery store had a big debut after raising 170 million through its ipo. back to nicole petallides on the new yook stock exchange. how did shares do, nicole? >> incredibly wellday where we had selling across the board. at one point the dow was down nearly 200 points yet fairway came out with its ipo. priced at 13 bucks. it closed above 30% by the end of the day. it never gave up those gains. fairway is a new york market, new york, new jersey they were originally going to do the ipo earlier but hurricane sandy be obviously during that time it was tough time to do an ipo so they decided to hold off on it and do it now. one of the reasons they're doing it obviously to raise money to open new stores. certainly among the stores they have everything in there you can man when they operate the stores from meat to produce to flowers, fruit, whatever you got, they have it at fairway. obviously this really is a east coast type supermarket. certainly not a national chain but maybe they're hoping to become one especially after the way it was received on wall street today, pretty stellar ipo. david: they also have a lot of competition. they didn't used to have. i lived a
