Continuing claims reading, which lags initial jobless claims data by one week, dropped to 2.481 million from 2.593 a week before, while analysts expected a decrease to 2.550 million. 

EURUSD saw a relatively small reaction to today’s data releases. The most popular currency pair continued to trade around 1.1640 level. Source: xStation5
