Tito... É melhor abrir posts novos para dados a horários diferentes, não? Para quem consulta... torna-se mais fácil, mais ainda ao poder confundir-se com a hora header do 1º post

ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. weekly initial claims at 4-year low

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. weekly initial jobless claims fell 2,000 to a 4-year low of 302,000 last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

The four-week average of new claims fell 4,000 to 311,750, the lowest since Nov. 4, 2000.

Economists surveyed by MarketWatch were expecting claims to rise to 316,000.

The number of people still collecting unemployment benefits fell by 14,000 to 2.72 million, as of the week ending Feb. 5.

The insured unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell 0.1 percentage point to 2.1 percent the week ending Feb. 5.

The jobless claims data show improvement in labor market conditions. Layoffs, represented by initial claims, have declined about 13 percent over the past year, from about 360,000 a year ago to 312,000 today.

Continuing claims, which give a flavor of hiring, have fallen about 14 percent from 3.18 million a year ago.

The Federal Reserve had been focused on the weak labor market for much of the past four years. But recent comments from Fed officials indicate that they are satisfied with the improvements in job growth and are now focused on inflationary signals.

The Fed is expected to raise its short-term interest rate target to 2.75 percent at the next meeting on March 22.


ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. Jan. import prices jump 0.9%; Excluding oil, import prices rise modest 0.2%

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Prices of imports into the United States rose 0.9 percent in January on higher oil prices, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

Economists were expecting import prices to rise 0.7 percent, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.

Excluding the 4.6 percent rise in imported petroleum, import prices rose a modest 0.2 percent in January.

In the past year, import prices are up 6 percent, including a 26.9 percent gain in crude oil prices. Excluding oil, import prices are up 3 percent in the past year.

Export prices increased 0.7 percent in January. Excluding the 0.3 percent gain in agricultural prices, export prices increased 0.7 percent. Export prices have risen 4 percent in the past year.

Import prices have not risen as fast as would be expected from the declining value of the dollar. U.S. officials have been receptive to the decline in the dollar, figuring that a weaker dollar will increase import prices, make U.S. goods more competitive and help reduce the record current account deficit.

Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Wednesday that he believes foreign producers have been reducing their profit margins instead of passing on the higher costs of their goods to U.S. buyers. But, the chairman said, profit margins have been cut to the bone, meaning import prices must rise soon.

Prices of import from the European Union rose 1.3 percent in January, the biggest increase in a year. Prices of imports from Japan fell 0.1 percent, the biggest decline in six months.

Imports from China fell 0.1 percent, the fifth decline in the past six months. China has pegged the value of the yuan to the dollar.

Chinese import prices are down 0.7 percent in the past year.

Imported industrial materials and supplies increased 2.2 percent in price, but excluding petroleum, materials supplies increased just 0.1 percent.

Imported capital goods prices rose 0.2 percent in January, while imported auto prices fell 0.1 percent, the first decline in more than a year.

Imported consumer goods prices gained 0.4 percent.

Exported agricultural prices rose 0.3 percent in January, but are down 6.2 percent in the past year, the largest drop in five years.

Exported capital goods prices rose 0.3 percent in January, the biggest increase in a year. Exported consumer goods prices rose 0.6 percent, the biggest gain in 13 years.
