The US economy added 164,000 new jobs in July, underscoring the strength of the US labor market.  The increase was slightly below the forecast of 171,000.  The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.7% which is a 50 year low.
 
 American manufacturers grew in July at the slowest pace in three years thanks to festering U.S. trade disputes that have hurt exports and undermined the global economy.  The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index slipped to 51.2% last month from 51.7% in June. That’s the lowest reading since August 2016.
