At 14:30 (GMT+2), the US will release weekly data on the volume of initial unemployment claims, which reflect the number of people who applied for government assistance for the first time during the past week. The statistics are collected by the Department of Labor and published in a weekly report and are also used to measure the health of the labor market: a rising value means fewer people are hired. The figure is expected to increase from 209.0K to 213.0K.
