🚨 Quick Market Heads-Up: U.S. Jobless Claims Incoming
The latest U.S. Initial Jobless Claims numbers are scheduled for release today at 7:00 PM IST (that’s 8:30 AM Eastern Time). This report always catches the market’s attention, but today’s reading could pack an extra punch.
Here’s what I’m keeping an eye on:
•Forecasts are pointing to a range of 223K to 225K new claims.
•Last week’s figure came in at 224,000, so we’re essentially looking for stability—or a small swing either way.
•One extra factor today: with the Christmas holiday tomorrow, trading will wrap up early. Lighter volume often means moves can get exaggerated, so expect the potential for quicker volatility around the release.
Why this matters now:
Beyond just today’s session, this data adds another piece to the Fed’s puzzle as they gauge labor market resilience. With recent inflation trends still in focus, any surprise here could shift short-term sentiment around interest rate expectations.

Stay alert if you’re trading—thin liquidity can amplify reactions. I’ll be watching the USD pairs and equity futures closely once the numbers drop.
