Commerce and Treasury officials debated tax cuts while the SEC eyed traders, with Dow Jones dipping near five hundred and volume soaring to record levels before a government-led relief rally. Employment rose to a May peak of 203,000 with unemployment dropping to 3.719 million, and steel output began a modest recovery while automotive production hit a May high for first five months.
