00:23Quarterly results at Costco will also be in focus.
00:26Another business headline, SpaceX is now worth $350 billion based on the math done over at CNBC.
00:33The market valuation adjustment follows on the heels of a $1.25 billion private share buyback.
00:39Elon Musk's space company has seen its value increase 67% since June.

00:58Boeing's is $123 billion. Lockheed Martin is at $120 billion.
01:03And Northrop Grumman's market value is $69 billion.

01:22And experts think Musk's cozy relationship with President-elect Donald Trump will add to its momentum.
01:28The company has lucrative government contracts and is partnering with NASA.
