Trump said the US has "basically taken over" Iran and described the Iran issue as a military skirmish rather than a war.

Charlie Ripley at Allianz Investment Management said in a note that August payrolls rose 162,000, a result that—despite monthly volatility—reinforces a pattern of weak jobs growth and low labor mobility.
