Noha Makram – Live- The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, indicating underlying labor market strength despite a recent rise in layoffs.

Initial unemployment claims fell by 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 218,000 during the week ending February 3, the Labor Department announced Thursday.

Economists in a Reuters poll had expected unemployment benefits to reach 220,000.

Unemployment benefits have not changed much from last year, despite the recent increase in employee layoffs, especially in the technology and media sectors.

Employers fear abandoning employees after the difficulties they faced in finding workers during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Economists also pointed to higher worker productivity, declining labor costs and other factors that encourage companies to retain their employees.

Last week, the government announced that non-farm payrolls rose by 353,000 jobs in January and the unemployment rate stabilized at 3.7%.

The strength of the labor market prompted financial markets to reduce their expectations for the first rate cut and adjust it to be in May instead of March. Markets are anticipating a 20% Fed rate cut in March, a significant decrease from the beginning of the year, and a 60% forecast for a 25 basis point rate cut in May, according to the CME FeedWatch tool.

Yesterday, Wednesday, US Federal Reserve officials indicated that they would not be in a hurry to cut interest rates until they were sure that inflation would decline sustainably to its target of 2%.

It is worth noting that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates by 525 basis points since March 2022 to its current range, which ranges between 5.25% and 5.50%.

Noha Makram – Live- Oil prices stabilized broadly on Tuesday, as investors awaited whether US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s tour of the Middle East would result in an end to the Gaza war, which has raised concerns about supplies from the main oil-producing region.

Brent crude futures fell by 8 cents to $77.91 per barrel, at 09:14 GMT, while West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell by 13 cents to $72.65.

Both contracts rose by about 1% yesterday, Monday, to record their first rise in four sessions.

Philip Nova, chief market analyst at Priyanka Sakdeva, said that signs of calming tensions in the Middle East are fading, leaving some support for oil prices.

The United States continued its campaign against the Houthis who launched attacks on ships in the Red Sea, sparking unrest in the global oil trade corridor.

However, concerns about the demand outlook are limiting price gains.

Analysts explained that expectations of maintaining high interest rates in the United States and other countries would limit consumption, along with indicators of the continued suffering of the Chinese economy.

BMI analysts expect the oil market to remain broadly balanced within a year and oil prices to rise moderately by 3.4%.
