Initial claims met expectations at 1.54 million last week but continuing claims barely improved (from 21.3 to 20.9 million) and were clearly above expectations (20 million). The report offers no sunshine that was saw last week from the NFP and could suggest the monthly reading was an outlier. US producer prices slid less than expected (-0.8% y/y vs consensus -1.2%) but the core PPI was a bit weaker. Overall the data does not offer a reason for sentiment change and investors will need to look elsewhere.
