A new COVID-19 subvariant called LB.1, part of the omicron family and highly contagious, is causing an increasing proportion of infections in the United States, following the dominant KP.3 and KP.2 variants. As cases rise, concerns grow about a summer wave. Symptoms of LB.1 are similar to FLiRT variants, including sore throat, cough, fatigue, and more. Despite the increase in cases, hospitalization rates remain steady. Antivirals like Paxlovid are effective against LB.1, and vaccines offer protection against severe disease, with recommendations for additional doses and boosters for high-risk groups. Precautionary measures include staying updated on vaccines, wearing masks in indoor spaces, and practicing good hygiene.

China is expected to become a major player in producing legacy chips, which are less advanced semiconductors, as the U.S. restricts China's access to advanced chips. Despite efforts to constrain China's chip industry, Chinese chip production has seen a significant increase, with mainland Chinese firms projected to hold 33% of the legacy chip market by 2027. Analysts suggest that U.S. pressure unintentionally contributed to China's potential success in the legacy chip sector, as China aims to secure its industrial supply chain through these initiatives.

State Street Global Markets macro multi-asset strategist Cayla Seder believes that the US economy, although showing signs of moderation, remains strong overall, with wage growth still robust and more job openings than unemployed individuals. Seder anticipates a possible interest rate cut in September by the Federal Reserve, but asserts that the economy may still be too strong in the near term for significant cuts, resulting in a predicted shorter and relatively shallow rate cutting cycle, as caution against interpreting signs of moderation as weakness or expecting excessive rate cuts unless a recession is imminent.
