The U.S. Government posted a less-than-expected July budget deficit of $129.4 billion, but given reeling U.S. and global stock markets, the pressure will be on Congress's new "super committee" to achieve greater than the $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction target called for in the second half of the U.S. debt deal.

The International Energy Agency says threats to the U.S. and global economies may cut oil demand growth next year by more than 60 percent; however, the group still sees global oil demand little changed this year and in 2012.
