     WASHINGTON (MNI) - The following are highlights of forecasts for   
upcoming U.S. economic indicators provided by participants in the MNI   
weekly survey. The comment section presents the key elements behind the 
median forecasts.     
Weekly Jobless Claims for February 3 week                               
 Thursday, February 8 at 8:30 a.m. ET                    Actual:        
                 Median        Range                 Feb03  Jan27  Jan20
 Weekly Claims   232k       228k to 235k                --   230k   231k
     Comments: The level of initial jobless claims is expected to       
rebound by 2,000 to 232,000 in the February 3 week after a 1,000 decline
in the previous week. The four-week moving average would fall by 7,250  
in the coming week, as the recent-peak 261,000 level in the January 6   
week drops out of the calculation, assuming the MNI forecast is correct 
and there are no revisions.
