Hi!

Die Daten für heute wären da zum einen

~ die wöchentlichen Erstanträge auf Arbeitslosenunterstützung: belaufen sich auf 385.000, im Vergleich zur Vorwoche ein minimaler Rückgang von 10.000. Der 4-Wochendurchschnitt bewegt sich weiter dezent nach oben. Der 4-Wochen-Durchschnitt für die kontinuierlichen Ansprüche bewegt sich sogar auf dem höchsten Niveau seit 1996, das mit dem Beginn der Rezession 1990/91 vergleichbar ist. Ergo, keine Entwarnung am Arbeitsmarkt.

<ul> ~ Summary:
~ Both initial and continuing jobless claims moved downward this week, which is a bit of a surprise. The nearly daily list of corporate layoff announcements indicates that labor market conditions continue to worsen. And aside from these announcements, the decline in payroll employment in March also clearly indicated that prospects for job growth are weakening.
~ The overall tend is clearly upward, however. The four-week moving average of continuing claims is at its highest level since late 1996 and is about equal to its level at the outset of the 1990-1991 recession.
~ Continuing claims, however, remain below their mid-1990s level. Yet they also are at about the same level as in mid-1990.
~ By state, the largest rise in jobless claims during the week ending April 7 were Illinois, North Carolina, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Texas and Michigan. This demographic focus remains in the industrial Midwest and Southeast, where weak demand for consumer durables, autos and building materials is felt the most. Texas joins the list as its high-tech electronics industries begin to pare workers as well.

später folgen noch der/die Philadelphia FED Survey für April, ein Frühindikator, wie auch der Treasury Budget für März.

~ Es folgt jetzt der/die Philadelphia FED Survey für April, ein Frühindikator, der Preisänderungen, Arbeitsmarkttrends und allgemeine wirtschaftliche Geschäftsbedingungen im verarbeitenden Gewerbe beinhaltet, und so die Makro-Ã-konomie reflektiert.
Für den April: - 7,2 %(erwartet wurden -18,0%). Zu beobachten ist ein Anstieg für den 3. Monat in Folge, aber zu erkennen sind weiterhin Anzeichen einer schwachen aber wohl sich erholenden Fertigung in der Philadelphia-Region. Die Analysten von Dismal Scientist sehen erste Zeichen des Erfolges der gelockerten Geldpolitik der FED.

<ul> ~ Summary:
~ The Philadelphia Fed index recovered for the third month in a row, reaching - 7.5%. Nevertheless, this is still indicative of a contracting manufacturing industry in the Philadelphia Fed region.
~ Many of the production indices showed some improvement in April, shipments rose to 1.3% from 3.6% the month before. But with very few respondents indicating that their new orders are rising, indications are that manufacturing weakness will persist.
~ The prices paid rose to 7.0% in April while prices received fell to - 8.4%. Most respondents are indicating that their prices are stable, thus inflationary pressures remain subdued and the squeeze on profit margins remains an issue.
~ The number of employees index fell to -12.9% in April. This confirms weak job creation in the manufacturing industry in the Philadelphia Fed region as reported by the BLS. The average workweek index fell as well in April to -28.0%, suggesting that there will be little increase in employment any time soon.
~ Expectations about future activity rose for the third month in a row in April to 25.7% from 20.9% in March. The Fed rate cuts appear to be improving confidence in the manufacturing industry.
