Last weeks claims #: 241,750
4-Week Average of Claims: 237,375
Prior Weeks 4-Week Average: 235,937.50
Comments: Weekly claims rose to 241,750. That number caused the 4-week average to rise up to 237,375. For the 4-week average to continue to rise, we would only need to see next weeks weekly number come in at 225,000 or higher. If the number continues to rise, itll be interesting to see if stocks turn bearish.
