News Summary: The stock market takes an August nap

MADE IN AMERICA: The government reported that the U.S. trade deficit fell to its lowest level in 18 months, as the U.S. enjoyed lower prices for the oil it brought in and higher sales of the vehicles, pharmaceuticals and industrial machinery it shipped out.
