The latest US jobless claims data reveals a spike in unemployment benefit applications, reaching the highest level in 10 months. Initial claims rose to 242,000, exceeding expectations, and the four-week average increased to 227,000. The rise in jobless claims suggests a potential slowdown in hiring and a loosening labor market.

The increase in claims may influence the Fed's interest rate decisions. #JoblessClaims #LaborMarket #FederalReserve...
