it was the fastest wage growth and this all comes as the world's 2 largest economies remain in a tit for tat trade war with no solution in sight heading into the 13th round of trade talks next week so with this mixed bag report expectations for an october rate cut declined to just about 75 percent from 93 percent. and here to dive into the details with us as our 2 correspondents are more on tuesday august you're welcome back you know these numbers that we got out today what are the projections look like generally more importantly how did they do compared to expectations for the alterations going according to the u.s. bureau of labor statistics so to stix the unemployment rate did decline to 3.5 percent last month this is the lowest since december of 1969 so again but the non-farm payroll increased 513-6000 now we're seeing this in a few sectors especially in manufacturing for example that saying into its worst in a decade this is highlighting the damage really caused by the u.s.

china trade war we're seeing businesses like we were who just pulled their i.p.o. filings and h.p. who also just unveiled plans of some major restructuring that will basically cut off and slash 70029000 jobs so that's a lot of people who will be on unemployment but if you take a look at this specific charge of the employment non-farm you see where we stand today if you look at some numbers back when when the financial crisis occurred in 2008 you can see there was a dramatic drop during that time before the financial crash and then you see where we stand today as far as. the 3.5 percent so of course it's no surprise the president can boast where wherever he can so he took to twitter and he it's no surprise that he was touting the state of the u.s. economy saying breaking news we are doing great want to impeach your president you know so so going into that but the for. the reserve has already cut rates twice

this year and it looks like people are expecting for them to cut rates once again in their meeting next week and then again in december when they meet again so people are looking at these expectation of federal the feds cutting their rates 2 more times just this year and that's the most that it's happened in decades actually you know unemployment has traditionally been a lagging indicator so president boasting about what a strong labor market that says that's not really saying much at all so meanwhile on the trade front with president trump they're set to meet with china next thursday for their 13th on trade talks is there any improvement in their relations well the u.s. merchandise trade deficit narrowed from july to august according to this new report released today by the u.s. department of commerce but the china trade deficit looks like it narrowed down in august as exports rose to a fire much high in the u.s. increased to 10000000000 while imports declined slightly to 38900000000 this could be kind of a good in good faith that the chinese are starting to buy a little bit more agricultural products from the u.s.

but even with the latest figures imports and exports it shows that china has declined significantly since a trade war began back in 2018 chinese to be the number one trade partner of the united states it's now number 3 so it's behind mexico and canada but this also comes as like you said the talks are going to resume next week and in or in an interview earlier today with bloomberg t.v. a white house economic adviser larry kudlow said there could be positive surprises coming out of these talks i'm not predicting i'm just saying don't rule that out there could be some positive surprises so this is really really a critical time and very important as we reach president reelection campaign and even if a partial deal is made i'm sure the united states and china will consider it some sort of a win and the slow comes as we may be looking at another possible trade war between the u.s. and europe this time what came out this week well the just announced the retaliatory tariffs that the u.s. will be allowed. take on $7500000000.00 worth of european goods and this is after

15 years of litigation and between airbus and boeing out of the united states trunk call this a big win even though it's been 15 years in the making that it happened during his presidency this was over billions of dollars of illegal subsidies that were taking from both sides of the u.s. call this a big win and your patter response take a listen to what they said. following yesterday's events to what you have to say that european union regrets the united states appears to have taken the decision to impose additional tariffs or you exploit this is a move 1st and foremost teach us consumers and companies in their 1st words a negotiated settlement more complicated if the u.s. is going to measures which will be pushing the you into a situation where. so the e.u. says that they will retaliate they will also impose tariffs but they're not going to receive that number until early next year so when they do and if they do experts say that the only way to look for

a possible solution is once they've imposed tariffs and then the u.s. and europe can either start discussion or look for an amicable solution and remove the tariffs on each other is good but let's just hope that this doesn't turn into another global trade war another trade war between 2 countries the u.s. and europe european countries it's going to be a busy week next week as we unpack this america correspondent thank you so much. and with more on the macro narrative we're now joined by jeffrey tucker from the american institute for economic research so jeffrey the job numbers came out today and they were bad but not too bad the street was actually expecting a lot worse so right now it has temporarily cooled off fears of the market completely nose diving off a cliff but does this really change anything in the broader narrative especially when unemployment as we know is a lagging indicator for recession. by the way thank you for your report which desegregated some of the data that came out you know of course the headline was

enough to give trump an opportunity to tweet you know which is really all that matters i suppose the $3.00 number but actually going to start looking at it it's not so impressive and may actually illustrate something like a labor shortage in the us it's true that everybody in the us who wants a job complete roblin get a job whether it's a good job whether it's is to sustainable job a high wages that's another thing entirely and let's also remember that recessions are not always characterized by a high unemployment rate that's can be an indication of a better as you say recessions in economic health are really about somebody else it's about the capacity of an economy to create wealth and the unemployment rate can be an indicator of that in this case it doesn't look so impressive so yeah of course trump was bragging about it. he can be very confused about economic data because it never looks at anything but the headlines i'm sorry to say and jeffrey as you're alluding to if you look under the in employment figure you see that wage

growth has stalled so that wealth creation that's supposed to come with the employment may not be in the pipeline with consumers and personal spending making up 70 percent of the economy how can consumption continue to grow if wages are flat even setting aside concerns about equity and human welfare. so in the last several months what you've seen is a growing consciousness that this trade war is number one not going to end anytime soon and secondly having a huge cost to american productivity and it's starting to dawn on wall street now and thank you for playing that clip from my friend larry kudlow you know who spent his whole life defending free trade and now ism the unfortunate position of having to defend the policies of a regime that's fundamentally tarkas to a protectionist and actually capitalist in the most devastating way and trump refuses to recognize it but all of the weakness that we're seeing right now in the

u.s. economy and really the global economy traces to his trade war which which is fundamentally insane and driven by a desire to bring down the trade deficit which is by the way not working more fundamentally it was trumps for you the trade war was going to be fantastic for. bringing back american manufacturing which it has not done in american manufacturing is actually extremely weak right now to the point that it's actually scary and financial markets are picking up on this and it's actually a tremendous worry everybody should be worried and everybody should be calling for godsake them into this and see and trade where they began 18 months ago you know we saw the market completely take a nosedive when the ice and manufacturing numbers came out so now the market looks red ready to poised for power to deliver another round of easing later on this month everybody seems to be ready for the powell put and for the fed to bail the entire market out but is this the new normal and should we be worried if everybody

is already acclimated to this new normal where people are excited about a 2 percent yield on 2 on a 30 year and september was also like a record month for corporates where new issue and sell more than $300000000000.00 for the corporates so should we be worried that the market is now getting flooded with paper. probably you know everybody expects us had to intervene which is actually slightly interesting we have a new. u.s. monetary policy that it must always be leaning against the wind the must always be countercyclical activities the question is are they going to work and live fed doesn't have a lot of room to maneuver and in fact unlike 2008 completely different now it's not clear to me at all that the fed as much power to move the markets at all and as you say yields are being driven down and down and down and there's an already you can see it on wall street the scramble for some sort of profitable. return and they're getting ever more scarce and the fed is not going to change that by

driving rates down even further it's not even clear to me whether the fed has the kind of power that it once had at all in fact i don't think it's obvious to the fed if you talk to fed governors and people who work there there really is some skepticism about whether or not they can actually do much to prevent these economic trends i mean after all the economic weakness for experiences and experience and right now almost entirely traces to exhaustion of shocks related to policy on a global scale as a deputy and even the fed itself has pointed out that that had nothing to do with monetary policy and monetary policy is basically incapable of bailing out a bad trade policy you know the it's a it's a bad theory and bad practice theory and bad practice hard takes from jeffrey tucker of the american institute for economic research thanks so much for your insight it's my pleasure.

it's been a disappointing week for equities as soft data heightened fears of a global slowdown let's see how the markets ended up over national the molex fell 1.8 percent as its annual inflation rate decrease to 4. percent in september the lowest since 20 its largest oil company rosneft has set the euro as their default currency for all new exports of crude further reducing its reliance on the u.s. dollar over in shanghai the markets were closed in observance of golden week but ahead of trying to go next week china restarted purchasing u.s. ag in a gesture of good faith but the u.s. instead threatened to instill capital control measures which included potentially delisting chinese equities some u.s. exchanges and furthermore in another escalation america's next fight with china is unfolding in chicago where the trumpet ministration is attempting to block c.r.c. from selling train cars inside america lawmakers apparently are now concerned that

a reaction to those u.s. job numbers we discussed earlier we saw that play out in frankfurt at the day where that market recovery on friday but not enough to make up for those earlier losses leaving the dax down for the week footsie on the trend and down for the week the 3.2 percent in that big stumble on wednesday also there is an apparent bombshell in much confusion around brags that on friday is court papers filed by the johnson government seem to indicate that the prime minister is making plans to comply with the law that requires him to request an exit extension of the october 31st brags that deadline if no deal has been reached by the 19th still lots of smoke being passed around the government's position on that so we'll have to check back on that moving to the americas the.

news cycle continues to generate stories about how he was able to make money where he was pulling in the money and then of course now the fight that continues against him and the investigation into not only abstains background his sordid life but those who may have been involved with him as well to answer your question so and you talked about this in the intro he was able to pull in more than 200000000 after he switched from financial services to d.n.a. research ok so the new york times we have to give the times of course credit because they sued to obtain these financial statements showing that epstein basically rebounded from 2008 when he lost a lot of money i think it was 150000000. you know from his legal problems he served time in west palm beach county jail 13 months registered as a sex offender but nonetheless he was able and losing his biggest client last

wexner. but he was able to rebound with this data d.n.a. data mining before the financial crisis hit he managed his company financial trust with investments that peaked at the end of 2004 reporting more than half a $1000000000.00 in assets and then in that income more than $100000000.00 but then he ended up as i said a lot at losing about $150000000.00 in 2008 but then 4 years later he rebounded after he took the hit after all those legal problems he created the company southern trust which is based in the u.s. virgin islands i went to the company when we were on st thomas at that point he was already in jail he hadn't died yet there was nobody there it was a small company maybe something like 10 or 12 employees and talking to some of the people on the island he hardly was ever there he stayed away from the offices not very big offices they were shuttered but that's where southern trust was based out of he apparently according to this information worked to develop the data the

d.n.a. data mining service epstein was involved in what a lot of scientists he surrounded himself with scientists academic experts he had some pretty creepy ideas and wild theories which have been reported on our t.v. and a lot of other places but over the next 5 years he was able to alter mentally pull in $200000000.00 in revenue the thing about it is that it doesn't show these documents that the times got and that we've been looking through doesn't show who the investors were and so they're still it's still really shrouded in mystery who exactly was working with them steen who was willing to give money to this guy who had served time in jail who was accused of all these awful things and apparently was still continuing with this life as the document says everything is the reporting has shown so there's still even in his death
