-- 米国の新規失業保険申請件数は、4月25日までの週に18万9000件となり、前週の改定値21万5000件から減少した。ブルームバーグがまとめたアナリスト調査では、21万2000件への増加が予想されていた。 4週間移動平均は、前週の1000件増21万1000件から3500件減の20万7500件となった。 4月18日までの週の雇用統計では、失業保険受給者数は2万3000人減の178万5000人となった。3月14日までの週の雇用統計では、失業保険受給者数は181万6000人だった。 米国労働省が発表する週次新規失業保険申請件数は、失業保険給付の申請件数を示す。新規失業保険申請件数は前週土曜日までのデータに基づいて集計され、既に給付を受けている人の数は1週間遅れで集計されます。 失業保険申請件数の減少は労働市場の回復を示唆し、米国経済と株式市場にとってはプラス要因となりますが、賃金上昇、ひいてはインフレにつながる可能性を示唆するため、債券市場にとってはマイナス要因となります。
