The number of initial unemployment claims in the United States will be revealed tonight: the market is closely watching the expected line of 225,000
Tonight at 21:30, the United States will announce the number of initial unemployment claims for the week ending November 22. This data is seen by the market as one of the 'barometers' of the U.S. labor market and has already drawn the attention of traders in advance.
From the known information, the previous value for this data was 220,000, while the market expectation has slightly increased to 225,000—if the announced value is higher than expected, it may be interpreted as a marginal weakening of the labor market, which could affect the Federal Reserve's monetary policy expectations; if it is lower than expected, it may reinforce the judgment that 'employment resilience is still present.'
Recent U.S. employment data has shown a characteristic of 'moderate cooling': the non-farm payrolls in October fell to 150,000, but the unemployment rate remains at a relatively low level of 3.9%. The change in the number of initial unemployment claims will further supplement clues on whether 'the job market has entered a slowdown phase' $ETH
