  • Four week average 271.50k vs 266.25k prior. Revised to 266.50k

A little wobble for claims last week but it shouldn't be anything to worry about unless we see a sustained period of claims rising

USDJPY reacts to the worse than expected number by falling off the horse to 123.98 from 124.10, but it's already back in the saddle at 124.23
