US DATA
- Initial jobless claims rise slightly more than expected to 196k (cons 190k) in the week to Feb 4 from 183k.
- It’s the first increase in six weeks after a strong run that still sees the 4-week average shift lower to 189k, the lowest since April. For perspective, the 2019 average was 218 and a single week low was 173k.
- The relatively minimal increase on the week is still firmly in contrast to recent surges in Challenger job layoffs.
- Continuing claims also modestly higher than expected at 1688k (cons 1660k), but that increase only pushes them back to 2019 averages in a sign of ongoing labor market tightness.
