US RATE FUTURES CUT CHANCE OF SEPTEMBER RATE HIKE AFTER JOBS DATA

U.S. hiring data for July drove financial markets to lower ​forecasts for the U.S. central bank raising its interest rate target at September's Federal Open Market Committee meeting, after a ‌week in which several Fed officials made the case for lifting rates to tackle stubborn inflation.
