US UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

Today we will update our jobless claims data. Since 2009, U.S. jobless claims have been declining from 650K levels to 350K. This has been a strong downtrend and reached levels that proved to be major support over the past decades. 300-350 area is strong support. Higher jobless claims data over the next few months could signal a major turning point that could result in weak job market. Currently unemployment rate stands at 7.5%.
