In the latest chapter of a volatile month for equities, the S&P rallied nearly 4% for its best week since 2023. High prices for basics like eggs are still squeezing consumers, though, and Vice President Kamala Harris has begun to hint at her economic agenda, including federal action to prevent price gouging. She will formally accept the Democratic nomination for President at the Democratic National Convention kicking off Monday in Chicago. Stephen Moore, economic advisor for the Republican nominee Donald Trump, offers his perspective on VP Harris’ plans, while Groundwork Collaborative’s Lindsay Owens defends the strategy as commonsense. Plus, mpox cases and deaths are rising in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Philippines has detected its first case. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb explains the history of the virus, the treatments for it, and new information on how it spreads.
