🚨🇺🇸 Today, Jobless Claims data fell again. Core data showed Initial Jobless Claims at 202,000, lower than the previous figure of 211,000 and also below the forecast of 212,000. This figure is better than market expectations and is generally considered bullish for the US economy. Now, why is this data called a Near Two-Year Low? There are two main reasons. First, current jobless claims are at a historically low level. Second, the figure is near the lowest level in the last two years. This indicates that layoffs are still low, and indirectly indicates that the labor market is still quite stable. So, what does this data actually mean? We can view it as a low-fire economy. This means that few people are being laid off, and companies are tending to retain their employees. This is also often referred to as a low-hire, low-fire environment, where companies are not aggressively recruiting, but also not conducting many layoffs. So, stable… but not necessarily expansionary. Now, let's move on to its impact on interest rates. With the current strong labor force, the Federal Reserve likely believes the economy doesn't need additional stimulus yet. In other words, they shouldn't rush to cut interest rates. The implication is quite clear: as long as interest rates remain high, non-yielding assets like gold and crypto tend to be under pressure. So, even though the data appears "positive," it could actually be a source of pressure for certain markets. Like and Follow for More Information $BTC $PAXG $XAUT #USJoblessClaimsNearTwo-YearLow
