US claims rise slightly amid fewer layoffs
A slight increase in US unemployment benefit claims last week, rising to 199,000 from 198,000 the previous week, despite layoffs reaching their lowest level in two years in July. This comes amid a stable labor market, with the increase aligning with economists' expectations of around 202,000 claims, even though seasonal adjustments for summer data remain challenging. Despite fluctuations in oil prices due to the ongoing war between the US and Iran, layoff numbers remained very low, reflecting a steady performance in the labor market.
