Key Points

  • The September jobs report (29k added) is viewed positively, indicating a 'supply-side' realignment of the American economy with increased factory and construction jobs.

  • A Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) report details the 'real cost of socialism' as a $49 trillion federal deficit or $355,000 per household over ten years, warning of economic decline if such policies are implemented.
  • The U.S. is pressuring European allies to release diesel reserves from their stockpiles, which could lead to a 'massive positive effect' or reduction in diesel prices.
