US Jobless Claims Remain Stable at 220,000, Indicating Low Layoffs
US initial jobless claims for the current week came in at 220K, slightly below the estimated 222K. The 4-week moving average remained relatively stable. Continuing claims also decreased to 1.861M, below the estimated 1.910M. The figures suggest a positive trend in the labor market, with the possibility of strike workers returning to work contributing to the decline in continuing claims. The US jobs report is expected to be released tomorrow, with predictions of around 190K new jobs added.
