-Sid Philip, Bloomberg Chief Correspondent for Global Aviation, discusses US airline executives seeing strong booking trends. Delta Air Lines Inc. and American Airlines Group Inc. reported strong sales, with American Airlines saying revenue in the quarter will rise more than 10% and Delta expecting sales to grow in the high single digits.

-Kristina Peterson, Bloomberg News Food Industry Reporter, discusses Kraft Heinz rolling out a series of healthier products to bolster some of its lagging brands, including a new high-protein Kraft Mac & Cheese and a low-sugar hydration beverage from Capri Sun. The company aims to provide "proof points" to customers and investors that Kraft Heinz can turn its business around by investing in product development and leaning into protein-heavy, better-for-you foods.

-Katherine Chiglinsky, Bloomberg US Finance Team Leader, discusses Mastercard saying it will acquire the stablecoin infrastructure startup BVNK for as much as $1.8 billion, four months after negotiations between BVNK and Coinbase Global Inc. for a roughly $2 billion deal fell apart.

-Jeffrey Langbaum, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior US REIT Analyst, discusses the state of real estate. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: office demand's obituary is premature. Leasing is firm as companies expand in select gateway markets and concentrate in top-quality, transit-linked buildings, while return-to-office mandates rise and AI-related hiring offsets early efficiency gains.
