  "account": "The USA & Canada Intelligence Brief for August 11 reveals a shift in the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, four days after weak job data had all but removed the possibility of a rate hike.

Investors are cautious and holding positions rather than adding to them, as they await the outcome of a potentially contentious tariff on August 19.",
