According to the report published on the US Department of Labor's (DOL) website, there were 232,000 Initial Jobless Claims in the week ended October 18.
Further details of the report showed that Continuing Jobless Claims rose to 1.957 million in the same period. The last weekly data published by the DOL before the government shutdown had shown that there were 1.916 million Continuing Jobless Claims in the week ended September 13.
Market reaction
These figures don't seem to be having a significant impact on the US Dollar's (USD) valuation. At the time of press, the USD Index was virtually unchanged on the day at 99.48.
