US Jobless Claims Beat Expectations 📉


Fresh labor data (Jan 15, 2026) shows the US job market remains strong:


🔹 Continuing claims: 1.884M (−19K), in line with expectations

🔹 Initial claims: 198K, well below forecast (215K) — 2nd lowest in 2 years

🔹 Unemployment rate: steady at 1.2%

🔹 Federal employee claims ticked slightly higher amid shutdown noise


💡 Market takeaway: Layoffs remain low → labor market resilience continues. This supports a hawkish Fed bias and keeps rate-cut hopes in check.


📊 Strong jobs data = key signal for USD, equities & crypto volatility.
