The U.S. Treasury reported a deficit of $166.8 billion for August, significantly improved from the previous year, but the underlying fiscal picture remains concerning.
Looking Ahead
Attention now shifts to the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, where the market anticipates a rate hike. Investors are also monitoring the ongoing developments in the oil market and their potential impact on inflation and economic growth.
