At 14:30 (GMT+2), the US will present weekly data on the number of initial unemployment claims. The indicator measures the number of people who applied for the first time during the past week. The data is collected by the Ministry of Labor and published in a weekly report. The number of benefit claims is used to measure the health of the employment sector, as an increase in the number means that fewer people are being hired. The figure is expected to increase from 220.0K to 225.0K.
