US citizens filing new applications for unemployment insurance rose to 224K for the week ending November 29, as reported by the US Department of Labor (DoL) on Thursday. This print came in above initial estimates (215K) and was higher than the previous week's tally of 215K (revised from 213K).

The report also highlighted a seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate of 1.2%, while the four-week moving average was 218.25K, marking an increase of 0.750K from the prior week’s revised average.

Moreover, Continuing Jobless Claims went down by 23K to reach 1.871M for the week ending November 22.

Market reaction

The Greenback remains on the defensive, reversing Wednesday’s small advance, and prompting the US Dollar Index (DXY) to retreat to the sub-106.00 zone, or three-day lows.
