The number of first-time claims for unemployment benefits in the United States surged last week, reaching a new high since the week of August 26, 2023.
The number of initial jobless claims in the United States last week was 231000, with an expected 215000, compared to the previous value of 208000; The four week average is 215000 people, with a previous value of 210000 people. The number of people reapplying for unemployment benefits for the week of April 27th was 1.785 million, with an expected increase of 1.785 million, compared to the previous value of 1.774 million.
Federal Reserve's Daley said that the risks of employment and inflation targets are balanced; The Federal Reserve's policy is restrictive, but reducing inflation may still take time. If the job market deteriorates, the Federal Reserve will consider lowering interest rates. It is too early to declare that the labor market is fragile and on the verge of collapse.
Blackstone President Jon Gray said, "We believe that economic growth is slowing down. The central bank will be slow in lowering interest rates because they don't want to see inflation rise. The Federal Reserve will remain patient and they may only cut interest rates once this year."
The Bank of England has announced its latest interest rate decision, maintaining the benchmark interest rate at a 16-year high of 5.25% for the sixth consecutive time, in line with market expectations.
