Max Kettner of HSBC makes the case for remaining bullish on risk assets despite growing skepticism around AI. Former Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld analyzes SpaceX's growing market influence and SK Hynix's U.S. market ambitions. Plus, Diana Olick's latest CNBC Housing Market Survey, showing sellers are losing the upper hand as conditions shift in the housing market, followed by a look ahead at the next catalysts for investors.
