ECONOMIC REPORT:Jobless claims settle down; Weekly initial claims include 21,000 related to hurricanes
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- First-time filings for state unemployment benefits rose by 2,000 in the week ended Nov. 5 to a seasonally adjusted 326,000 claims, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The new claims included an estimated 15,000 related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as well as 6,000 related to Hurricane Wilma, a department spokesman said.
A total of 535,000 claims related to Katrina and Rita have been filed, while 7,400 have been filed due to Hurricane Rita.
The hurricane-related figures aren't seasonally adjusted.
The four-week average of new claims fell to 334,250 from 350,500. It's the lowest since just after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29.
The estimates of the storms' impact on initial claims show that labor markets in the rest of the country have been little affected, with underlying initial claims staying in the 300,000 to 320,000 range that prevailed before the hurricanes.
However, a Labor Department official has said that U.S. job growth excluding the storms was "below trend" during October. Nonfarm payrolls for the nation as a whole rose by 56,000 last month.
Meanwhile in the weekly data, the number of people continuing to receive unemployment checks rose by 23,000 to 2.82 million in the week ended Oct. 29. The four-week average of continuing claims fell by 10,000, to 2.84 million, to mark the lowest in a month.
Continuing claims are up by about 250,000 since Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast.
The insured unemployment rate, representing the proportion of eligible workers who are receiving benefits, stayed at 2.2%.
ECONOMIC REPORT: Import prices fall on sinking oil; Natural gas, industrial supply prices continue to climb
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:43 AM ET Nov. 10, 2005
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Prices of goods imported into the United States fell 0.3% in October as the price of imported petroleum dropped 4.4%, the Labor Department said Thursday.
It was the first decline in import prices in five months. It was also the first decline in petroleum prices in five months. Petroleum import prices are up 30.9% in the past 12 months.
According to the MarketWatch survey, economists expected import prices to fall 0.2% in October after September's unrevised 2.3% gain.
In other reports released Thursday, the Commerce Department said the U.S. trade gap widened to a record $66.1 billion in September as exports plunged.
Also, the Labor Department said first-time filings for jobless benefits rose by 2,000 to 326,000 last week, including some 21,000 hurricane-related claims.
The import price index shows slight but growing pressure on U.S. inflation outside of the energy sector.
Prices of imports excluding petroleum rose 0.8% in October, in part because natural gas prices jumped 19.6% and in part because prices of other industrial supplies and materials continued to rise.
Excluding all fuels, import prices increased 0.3%, equaling September's gain.
In the past year, import prices have risen 8.1%, down from a 10.2% year-over-year gain last month. Excluding petroleum, import prices are up 3.7% in the past year.
Prices of imported industrial materials excluding fuels increased 1.6% in October, including a 2.1% gain in building materials prices. Prices of imported foods and feeds increased 1.1%.
However, imported capital goods prices fell 0.3% and consumer goods prices fell 0.1%.
The Federal Reserve has boosted short-term rates 12 times in the past 17 months in a bid to keep a lid on inflationary pressures.
Meanwhile, prices of goods exported from the United States rose 0.6% in October after rising 0.8% in September. Prices of agricultural goods rose 0.2%.
Export prices are up 3.6% in the past 12 months.
Prices of exported capital goods rose 0.1%.
The U.S. government had been running a de facto weak dollar policy to encourage higher prices for imported goods, both to fight possible deflation and to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S.-made goods. But since the first of year, the dollar has strengthened.
Prices of imports from China increased 0.1% after five months of falling prices. Prices of imports from the newly industrialized Asian nations fell 0.3% and are down 1.6% in the past year.
Prices of imports from the European Union fell 0.3%. Prices of imports from Japan fell 0.1%.
Prices of imports from Canada rose 3.6%, the largest gain in nearly five years.
ECONOMIC REPORT: Trade gap widens to new record in Sept.; Exports have sharpest decline since 9/11
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Natural disasters and labor strife combined to push the U.S. trade deficit into record territory in September, a government report showed Thursday.
The U.S. trade deficit widened by 11.4% in September to a record $66.1 billion, the Commerce Department said.
A surge in energy imports needed after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita laid waste to the energy infrastructure along the Gulf Coast in September boosted imports. At the same time, a strike a Boeing Co. sharply cut the number of airplanes exported in the month.
Even though economists had anticipated these factors, the trade deficit in September was well above expectations. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected the deficit to widen to $61.5 billion.
The August trade deficit was revised slightly to $59.3 billion from the initial estimate of $59.0 billion.
The September trade data will be a drag the third quarter GDP growth rate, initially reported at a 3.8% annualized rate. The deficit for September is above government estimates that were included in the growth estimate. A larger trade deficit by itself would dampen growth. But the drag from the trade sector is likely to be offset by a faster pace of inventory growth in the third quarter than the government initially estimated.
Imports rose in September while exports had their largest decline since 9/11.
Imports rose 2.4% to $171.3 billion in September. Exports fell 2.6% to $105.2 billion.
Exports of goods alone fell 4.3% to $73.4 billion. The largest drop came in exports of capital goods, which fell 7.4% to $29.1 billion. Exports of civilian aircraft fell 72% to $925 million.
According to Boeing, only two planes were delivered in September, down from 25 in August due to the strike.
Imports of goods alone rose 2.7% to $144.5 billion. All categories on imports rose except autos. Imports of industrial supplies, including natural gas, fuel oil and other petroleum products rose 6.2% to $46.9 billion.
The petroleum deficit widened 6.8% to a record $22.2 billion.
The value of U.S. oil imports fell to $16.0 billion in September from $17.2 billion in August. The price of a barrel of oil rose to a record $57.32 in September, but the quantity of crude oil imports fell to 278.5 million barrels, the lowest since February 2003.
The trade deficit with China widened to a record $20.1 billion in September from $15.5 billion in the same month last year. The trade gap with China rose to $146.3 billion in the first nine months of the year, up from $114.3 billion in the same period last year.
The U.S. also set record trade deficits with Canada, South/Central America and OPEC.
