US Jobless Claims

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell last week, pointing to a fairly robust labor market. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 271,000 for the week ended Nov. 14, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The prior week’s claims were unrevised.

Claims have now held below the 300,000 threshold for 37 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch in years, and are not too far from levels last seen in the early 1970s. Claims below this level are usually associated with a healthy jobs market.Last week’s drop in claims was in line with economists’ expectations.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the white metal around the current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
