Private businesses in the US added 90K jobs in September 2026, above market expectations of 70K, following a downwardly revised 36K in August. Hiring accelerated for the first time since May, led by education and health care (+55K) and leisure and hospitality (+22K).

The US trade deficit widened to $105.6 billion in August 2026 from a revised $92.8 billion in July, exceeding market expectations of $102.0 billion and marking its largest gap since March 2025.

Imports of industrial supplies and materials rose $9.1 billion, led by crude oil and nonmonetary gold, while capital goods imports increased $6.2 billion on stronger purchases of semiconductors and other industrial machinery. These gains more than offset a decline in computer accessories. Meanwhile, exports rose $4.5 billion to $315.2 billion, driven by a $6.3 billion increase in industrial supplies and materials, mainly nonmonetary gold and crude oil, and a $1.3 billion rise in capital goods, including semiconductors and computers.
