US Data: Highlights of MNI Survey of Economic Forecasts 

     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 December 22 week                                
 Thursday, December 27 at 8:30 a.m. ET                   Actual:       
               Median         Range                  Dec22  Dec15  Dec08
 Weekly Claims   215k     214k to 220k                  --   214k   206k
     Comments: The level of initial jobless claims is expected to rise 
by 1,000 to 215,000 in the December 22 week after an increase of 8,000 
to 214,000 level in the previous week. The prevalence of holidays in 
November and December make seasonal adjustment difficult at the end of 
the year. The four-week moving average would fall by 5,000 in the coming 
week as the 235,000 level in the November 24 week rolls out of the 
calculation, assuming the MNI forecast is correct and there are no 
revisions.
