Summary
President Trump praised European leaders for releasing diesel reserves to curb record fuel prices, while a weak US jobs report boosted stocks on expectations of delayed Fed rate hikes. The Justice Department confirmed it is not reopening a criminal probe into Fed Chair Powell, though Paramount faces higher interest costs after selling $52 billion in debt to fund its Warner Bros.
