On June 21, 2024, the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a ban on the sale of products from Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab in the US, citing potential national security threats. While current US users of Kaspersky products won't face legal issues, the ban may prevent future updates, prompting a switch to alternative cybersecurity solutions. The BIS provided a grace period until September 29, 2024, for users to transition away from Kaspersky products in the US. The decision was informed by concerns over Russia's cyber capabilities potentially utilizing Kaspersky to infiltrate US entities, prompting a comprehensive ban. Past measures against Kaspersky were influenced by the 2017 ban on federal agencies using their products and recent events such as Russia's 2022 attack on Ukraine, which raised further national security concerns. Kaspersky Lab maintains it has not engaged in activities threatening US security and operates lawfully, assisting US entities in countering cyber threats.

In May, U.S. existing home sales fell for the third consecutive month as high prices and increasing mortgage rates deterred potential buyers, with sales dropping 0.7% to 4.11 million units. The National Association of Realtors reported a surge in housing inventory for the first time in nearly two years, potentially curbing further price increases and improving affordability. However, weak sales, along with a decline in housing starts and building permits, suggest that rising mortgage rates have hindered the housing market's recovery. Median home prices hit a record high of $419,300, surging 5.8% year-over-year, with most homes selling above $750,000 and 30% selling above the listing price. Despite the increase in supply, entry-level homes remain limited, and the housing market is not expected to drive the economy in the upcoming months.
