Bill Ackman's recent decision to shut down his $4 billion SPAC highlights the challenges facing this investment vehicle, as the market shifts and regulatory scrutiny increases.

Meanwhile, upcoming reports on the housing market and Tesla's earnings are set to reveal the impact of rising interest rates and the CEO's distractions, respectively, with predictions of continued struggles for Tesla amid production issues in China.
