- Initial Jobless Claims rose to 216K, down from the previous week's 228K.
- Continuing Jobless Claims climbed to 1.862M in the week ending October 18.
US citizens filing new applications for unemployment insurance rose to 216K for the week ending October 25, as reported by the US Department of Labor (DoL) on Thursday. This print came in below the consensus forecast and the previous week's tally of 228K (revised from 227K).
The report also highlighted a seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate of 1.2%, while the four-week moving average retreated to 236.50K, marking an decrease of 2.250K from the prior week's revised average.
Moreover, Continuing Jobless Claims shrank by 26K to reach 1.862M for the week ending October 18.
Market reaction
The Greenback extends its weekly leg lower and drags the US Dollar Index (DXY) to multi-day lows in the 103.90-103.85 band, a region also coincident with the key 200-day SMA.
