U.S. President Donald Trump promised a $5,000 payout to every American adult if Republicans keep Congress in November. According to NS3.AI, a Financial Times/Focaldata poll showed Trump's approval at 32%, the lowest reading since tracking began in May.

Trump did not provide details on how the payout would be funded or when it would be delivered. Brent crude oil also topped $102 a barrel the same day after fresh U.S. strikes hit Iranian tankers.
