US Initial Jobless Claims Surge to 8-Month High

On June 5, it was reported that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time in the US unexpectedly increased last week, reaching the highest level since October of last year, further indicating that the job market is cooling down. For the week ending May 31, initial jobless claims rose by 8,000 to 247,000, exceeding market expectations of 235,000. Recent data and surveys indicate that economic activity in the US is slowing, and a continued increase in initial claims in the coming weeks may signal that layoffs are rising. The four-week average also climbed to 235,000, the highest level since October of last year. Continuing claims for unemployment benefits saw a slight decrease but remain at a high level, indicating that it is taking longer for unemployed individuals to find work. #美国加征关税 #币安Alpha上新 #币安钱包TGE #Strategy增持比特币 #FTX赔付
