-- 截至4月25日當週，美國首次申請失業救濟人數降至18.9萬人，低於前一周向上修正後的21.5萬人，而彭博社匯總的分析師調查顯示，市場預期為21.2萬人。 四周移動平均下降3500人至20.75萬人，而前一周則上升1000人至21.1萬人。 截至4月18日當週，投保失業救濟申請人數減少2.3萬人至178.5萬人。截至3月14日當週，投保失業救濟申請人數為181.6萬人。 美國勞工部發布的每週首次申請失業救濟人數數據衡量的是申請失業保險金的人數。首次申請數據截至上週六，而已領取失業救濟金的人數則落後一週統計。 失業救濟申請人數的減少表明勞動力市場走強，這對美國經濟和股市來說是利好消息，但對債券市場則是利空消息，因為它意味著工資增長，而工資增長可能導致通貨膨脹。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Opinion On Shares Of Extra Space Storage
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month target price by $5 to $125, 15.5x our 2026 P/FFO estimate, below self-storage peers (16.7x) given EXR's weak NOI growth outlook and elevated debt levels. We decrease our 2026 FFO estimate by $0.20 to $8.04 and lower 2027 by $0.21 to $8.31. Despite a stronger Q1 same-store performance than expected, management did not increase guidance, which we believe is due to macroeconomic factors that are affecting new customer demand growth (primarily higher gas prices and inflation). These trends have been more pronounced in Sun Belt markets (similar to all self-storage REITs), as the excess supply has severely limited rental growth in the past 18 months. We believe 2H 2026 will have weaker same-property performance, even if the macroeconomic environment improves due to stronger Y/Y comps from 2H 2025. We also see a new risk that PSA's partnership with Welltower Inc (WELL) may negatively impact EXR's value proposition for its third-party management platform.
