The United States Department of Labor reported weekly jobless claims rose 10,000 to 200,000 for the week ended May 2. The figure beat Reuters poll expectations of 205,000 and remains below the 230,000 threshold maintained throughout this year. Persistent labor market stability suggests the Federal Reserve will maintain current interest rates through the end of 2026.
