Ahead of Anthropic’s highly-anticipated IPO (cnbc.com/2026/10/19/anthropic-ipo-ai-trade.html) on the Nasdaq, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman discusses her exchange’s strategy to win listings in the AI IPO race. Tesla reported its latest financials as the board considers the details of a SpaceX-Tesla merger (cnbc.com/2026/10/21/spacex-spcx-stock-musk-mer…). CNBC’s Steve Liesman shares the results of his latest All-America Economic Survey (cnbc.com/american-economic-survey): sentiment on the economy is about as gloomy as it was immediately after the pandemic.
