The 2:00 tape was a draft. 4 p.m. is the grade.

Yahoo Finance, Tuesday close: Dow Jones 51,786.72 at 4:34:56 p.m. ET, down 197.26 from Monday’s Yahoo previous close 51,983.98, −0.38%. S&P 500 7,568.92 at 4:30:13 p.m. ET, up 27.52, +0.36%. Nasdaq Composite 25,372.01 at 5:15:59 p.m. ET, up 207.65, +0.83%. Russell 2000 2,812.45 at 4:30:04 p.m. ET, up 6.57, +0.23%. Midday we had Dow 51,875.90 at 2:00:56 p.m. ET. Do not smash 51,787 into 51,876. They are not the same print. 51,786.72 is the close. 51,876 at 2:00 already ran as a tape. This desk did not file Monday. Do not smash 51,787 into Friday’s unused close 51,770.31. Do not smash 51,787 into Friday 2:00’s unused 51,791.57. A close is not Nov. 3. We will not invent a House or Senate tally.

Yahoo, Tuesday 5:59:59 p.m. ET: Bitcoin $77,779.32. That is not 2:00’s unused $77,479.24. That is not Sunday 6:00’s unused $77,805.06. That is not Friday 6:00’s unused $76,575.86. WTI futures (CL=F) $96.76 at 4:59:59 p.m. ET, vs 2:00’s unused $95.85 at 1:47. Brent futures (BZ=F) $104.42 at 4:59:34, vs 2:00’s unused $103.37 at 1:50. Those are futures. They are not a Tuesday oil settle we invent. Do not smash 2:00’s $95.85 / $103.37 into tonight. 10-year (^TNX) 4.952% at 2:59 p.m. ET, vs 2:00’s unused 4.954% at 1:41. Funds are still 3.75–4%, 10–2. Wednesday already filed the unused statement: a hold, not a hike, not 12–0. Lisa D. Cook and Beth M. Hammack dissented. We will not reprint 12–0 as today’s vote. We will not invent Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference. Leftover AMD after the bell is not this unused close.

What this means for you

If you hold an index, Tuesday’s grade is 51,787, not 51,876 at 2:00 and not Friday’s unused 51,770. If you wanted tonight’s unused bitcoin, it is $77,779 at 6:00. Not investment advice.

Bottom line: Close 51,786.72. Not 2:00’s 51,876. Not Friday’s 51,770. $77,779 at 6:00. A close is not Nov. 3.
