Fundamental view

The initial jobless claims in the US probably fell to 325 000 in the week ended May 3rd, from 344 000 a week ago, according to the median estimate by experts. The indicator measures the number of applications for unemployment benefits that are recorded each week in a report prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the United States. Initial application or (Initial Claim) means a completed document from an unemployed person before the local government, which is considered a claim for compensation or the possibility of compensation. The completion of the initial claim marks the beginning of a period in which the applicant receives unemployment benefits. The survey covers the number of applications registered in the previous week and is an important indicator concerning the health of the US labor market.

The data is due to be released at 12:30 GMT. In case initial jobless claims drop more than expected, this will heighten the appeal of the greenback.
