Is average power transfer at any point on a standing wave zero?

The attempt at a solution:
Yes I do think so as power is not transferred across nodes and antinodes hence there is no net energy transfer so average across ANY point should be zero.

Yes you are right.
There is no Power transfer but power is confined only to that region/particle.
