Re: Market News

The weekly initial jobless claims came in higher than expected this morning: 226K new claims vs. 216K expected. That's up from last week's 221K.

In the current "the only thing that matters is interest rates" world that we live in, this is considered bullish news for stocks.

Ironically, the 10-year Yield is up modestly this morning after that report was released.
 
Re: Market News

The initial weekly jobless claims came in slightly lighter than expected (fewer jobless claims) while continuing claims was slightly higher than expected (more jobless claims)
