Data released on Thursday showed that seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims rose by 1,000 to 199,000 in the week ending August 1st, lower than the market expectation of 202,000. Initial jobless claims have declined significantly since a sharp surge in early June. However, some of the decline may reflect the difficulty in adjusting for seasonal factors during the summer. Despite the oil price shock caused by the US-Israel conflict with Iran, corporate layoffs have remained extremely low. Furthermore, there are currently no signs that the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure is causing large-scale unemployment; layoffs are mainly concentrated in the technology sector.
