[672] US jobs number disappoints, Venezuela in crisis
The top stories: While the US economy added 151,000 jobs in August, keeping the unemployment rate at 4.9%, the numbers fell short of expectations. Edward Harrison has the details. Then, RT Correspondent Peter Oliver reports from Berlin on the changes Deutsche Bank is trying to make as it struggles with 3-decade low share prices and a risky bank profile. Afterwards, Ameera David talks to EuroPacific Capital founder Peter Schiff about the recent dip in precious metals price and the state of the US economy.
After the break, Edward speaks to Peterson Institute Editorial Fellow Pedro da Costa about the ability for fiscal policy to start doing the heavy lifting on the economic policy front. And in the Big Deal, Edward is joined by RT Correspondent Anya Parampil to discuss the combustible situation in Venezuela as mass protests hit the capital Caracas. Take a look!
Canada’s currency has been falling in recent months. In January, the Bank of Canada slashed its benchmark rate to 0.75%. However, some are saying that it’s not the Bank of Canada who should be blamed for the tumbling currency but rather the economy. Canada is a major oil exporter, so the lower prices have meant a 3% decline in income. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin talks with John Brynjolfsson – CIO of Armored Wolf. John tells us why North American oil frackers aren’t relenting on production and gives us his take on Canada, Australia, and a number of northern European countries having larger household debt than the US or UK at the peak of the credit bubble. On equities, John thinks the profit picture “troublesome” given the policy divergence between the Fed and other central banks.
After the break, Erin sits down with Frances Coppola – associate editor at Pieria and author of the blog “Coppola Comment.” Frances tells us the latest in the UK economy and housing market ahead of the May elections and gives us her take on what a Grexit could mean for the rest of the periphery.
And in The Big Deal, Erin is joined by Boom Bust producers Edward Harrison and Bianca Facchinei to discuss the future of computers and smartphones. ARM Holdings is predicting that mobile handsets will replace PCs as the principal computing device in two years. They would, since they make the CPUs powering those mobile devices. We think the move to mobile will proceed apace, but the two-year timeframe sounds aggressive. Take a look!
