US Initial Jobless Claims Today: A Key Macro Trigger š
US Initial Jobless Claims drop today at 08:30 AM ET, and markets are watching closely.
Consensus expectation: 224,000 claims
How markets usually react:
š Higher-than-expected claims ā Bullish for risk assets, bearish for the USD
š Lower-than-expected claims ā Supports the USD, pressures risk assets
Why this matters:
The Fedās dual mandate is maximum employment and price stability. With inflation cooling, the labor market becomes the key swing factor.
If jobs data shows weakness, it strengthens the case for rate cuts, easing financial conditions and boosting stocks and crypto.
Bottom line:
Todayās print could shift rate-cut expectations fast. One data point is all it takes to move the Fed narrative.
