Weekly US initial jobless claims data

  • Prior was 803K
  • Continuing claims 5219K vs 5390K expected
  • Prior continuing claims 5337K

This is for the week ending December 26, which is obviously impacted by holidays and very tough to forecast because of that. I wouldn’t take a signal from the data until January, when the work week gets back to normal.
