Market Insight and Analysis. You're listening to the opening bell of CNBC, Squawk on the Street.

Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber with Jim Kramer. We are live from Post 9 at the New York Stock Exchange. Carl has the morning off.

Let's give you a look at futures. It's a short and week. Remember, it is Tuesday. I don't feel like it. But look at that. We may have a higher open.

First time in three, what?

We had three down.

Well, I can't call it Monday.

This is actually synthetic Wednesday.

But you know what I mean?

Yeah, I do.

I know exactly what you mean.

But we look like we're going to have a higher open a half hour from now when we get started with trading.

Chinese President Xi holding a rare closed-door meeting with some of that country's top business leaders and did include, I want to call him my old friend, but certainly somebody I used to interview a bunch, founder of Alibaba.

Moving on from there, one top Social Security official steps down from her role,

this after refusing a request from Musk's Doge Group. And we are also monitoring what was another plane crash,

this time involving a Delta, jet overturning upon landing at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.

Thankfully, everybody survived.

All right, let's get to the market.

So again, what I said was a short in trading week.

First time you and I have been together in a little while.

We both took some needed R&R.

Yes.
