Jobless claims were up sharply – up 20K on the week. One of them was my wife who was laid off a couple of weeks ago and filed last week.
Not really giving pm’s much of a boost or hitting the USD as it should but it’s going to be a light day, so the boyz can push things around easily.
Might be reasonable to expect the jobs picture to weaken into the New Year but that’s JMHO.
High of 11, low of -11 degrees here in the frozen northwest tundra today.
Happy New Year everyone!
