At 14:30 (GMT+2), the US will publish weekly data on the number of initial jobless claims: the indicator measures the number of people who applied for government assistance for the first time over the past week. These data are collected by the Department of Labor and published in a weekly report. Initial Jobless Claims indicator is used to measure the state of the labor market, since an increase in the indicator means that fewer people are hired. The figure is expected to decline from 223.0 thousand to 218.0 thousand.
