1. Initial jobless claims in the U.S. at 203,000, lower than expected, reinforcing expectations for sustained high interest rates

The initial jobless claims in the U.S. for the week ending August 22 were 203,000, compared to an expected 208,000, with the previous value revised from 206,000 to 207,000.

AI interpretation: The initial jobless claims were lower than expected and below the previous value, directly proving that demand in the U.S. labor market remains strong. This data alleviated market concerns about a cooling job market and further solidified expectations for a soft landing of the economy. Strong employment performance gives the Federal Reserve the confidence to maintain high-interest rate policies, effectively suppressing market bets on rate cuts in the short term. This outcome reinforces the narrative that the high interest rate environment will persist for a longer period.   -Original
