🚨 🇺🇸 JOBLESS CLAIMS DROP TO 215K AS LABOR MARKET REFUSES TO BREAK U.S. unemployment claims came in at 215K on the latest reading shown, sitting below the forecast line and keeping layoffs contained. The chart shows claims have cooled from recent higher prints, even as payroll growth has slowed sharply. This is the twist markets must respect. NFP says hiring is weaker, but claims say companies are not rushing to fire workers. Treasuries, the dollar, gold and rate-sensitive tech are the focus. Lower claims support soft-landing hopes; sticky labor strength keeps Fed-cut timing under pressure.
