According to CoinMeta, the number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the United States at the beginning of the week on August 8 was 209,000, higher than the market's expectation of 202,000. The previous figure was revised from 199,000 to 200,000. This data reflects signs of marginal relaxation in the labor market under the ongoing high-interest-rate environment, providing a new dimension for the Federal Reserve's subsequent policy adjustments. As a result, the market's overly optimistic sentiment regarding employment resilience has been dampened, and the demand for safe-haven assets has increased accordingly. This data clearly indicates that there are subtle changes occurring in the balance between labor supply and demand, which is positive for alleviating inflationary pressures.
