## Resource

The Chinese government reported a slight increase in its June factory activity, driven mostly by exports and demand tied to AI. Today, we'll delve into what these latest numbers tell us about how China's economy is doing and discuss how the ebbs and flows of Chinese manufacturing affect consumers here in the United States. Then, yesterday, the Supreme Court allowed Fed Governor Lisa Cook to keep her job (for now) but gave the president broader authority to fire other federal officials. What are some of the shorter- and long-term impacts? Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to our daily or weekly newsletter .
