At 14:30 (GMT+2), weekly data on the number of initial jobless claims will be released in the US. The indicator measures the number of people who applied for the first time during the past week. The data is collected by the Department of Labor and published in a weekly report. The number of applications for benefits is used to measure the state of the employment sector since an increase in the value means that fewer people are being hired. It is expected that the indicator will decrease from 261.0K to 250.0K.
