ParticipantThe U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $67.4 billion in August (consensus -$67.9 billion) from an upwardly revised -$70.5 billion (from -$70.6 billion) in July.
The key takeaway from the report is that it does point to some softening in global economic activity as both imports and exports were less than they were in July.

ParticipantThe ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for September dipped to 56.7% (consensus 56.0%) from 56.9% in August. The dividing line between expansion and contraction is 50.0%. The September reading marks the 28th straight month of growth for the services sector.
The key takeaway from the report is that business activity for the non-manufacturing sector held pretty steady in September and was stronger than expected. While a slightly lower reading versus August connotes some slowing, the slowdown for the largest sector of the economy isn’t significant enough to fuel a belief that the Fed is about to pivot soon with its monetary policy.
