US joblessness data: Applications for benefits remain in historically healthy range; fell to 227,000 last week
Unemployment benefit claims in the United States dipped last week,falling to a historically healthy range over the past couple years. These figures offer another sign of strength in the country's labour market even as major companies announce job cuts and concerns grow over the economic impact of tariffs. According to data released by the US labour department on Thursday, initial applications for unemployment aid fell by 5,000 to 227,000 in the week ending July 5, below the 238,000 predicted by analysts, AP reported. Jobless claims are closely watched as an indicator of layoffs. This follows last week's report showing that US employers added a stronger-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June. The national unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, improving slightly from May's 4.2% figure. Many analysts had anticipated a rise to 4.3%, but the labour market once again showed unexpected resilience, despite growing uncertainty over US president Donald Trump's economic policies. Still, signs of strain are emerging. The ongoing uncertainty over Trump's policies, particularly his use of aggressive tariffs, is causing unease among businesses. Most economists argue that such tariffs reduce competition and make the economy less efficient. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giá vàng đang tăng mạnh trong năm 2025 — Các nhà giao dịch thông minh đã tham gia IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo They also risk triggering retaliatory measures from other countries, which could hurt US exporters and prompt businesses to halt hiring or reduce their workforce. Unless fresh trade agreements are reached, the bulk of Trump's proposed tariffs, now extended until 1 August, could weigh further on economic momentum and rekindle inflationary pressures, economists warn. A number of major firms have already announced job reductions this year. Microsoft revealed last week it will cut around 9,000 jobs, marking its second large-scale layoff in recent months and the biggest in over two years. Google, meanwhile, confirmed fresh buyouts in June as part of its continued cost-cutting efforts. Other companies trimming their workforce include Meta (Facebook's parent company), Procter & Gamble, Starbucks, CNN, Workday, Dow, and Southwest Airlines. While short-term volatility in claims is common, the four-week moving average, considered a more reliable measure, also fell by 5,750 to 235,500. However, the number of Americans continuing to receive unemployment benefits rose by 10,000 to 1.97 million for the week ending June 28, the highest figure since November 2021.

Copper traders look to Chinese buyers in post Trump-tariff world
Overseas offers to Chinese buyers pick up, traders say Traders seek home for cargoes at risk of missing August 1 US tariff deadline Yangshan premium eases amid rising offers By Amy Lv and Lewis Jackson BEIJING, - Global copper traders are offering cargoes to Chinese buyers as they look to offload metal no longer able to reach the U.S. before President Donald Trump's 50% copper tariff deadline. Trump said late on Wednesday he would impose the new tariff from August 1 to promote domestic production of everything from semiconductors to ammunition. He didn't specify which copper products would be hit or whether exceptions would be considered. China is the world's largest copper consumer, and the number of offers by overseas sellers has been picking up since late June and is now at the highest in months, according to a Chinese copper trader who spoke on condition of anonymity. A second China-based trader said they had received an offer for a 1,500 metric ton cargo from South America for delivery in late July or early August from a buyer "eager to find a home." The step up in offers to China reflects how traders, who have spent months shipping copper to the United States in anticipation of the tariff, must now begin to find alternative destinations for cargoes unable to cross the U.S. border before the tariff comes into effect. Only copper from Latin America that is being loaded or already en route is likely to make the deadline, and even then it is likely to be close, according to logistics sources. "If Chilean material is being freed up to make its way to Europe because less is going to the U.S., that means it's being freed up for everyone and you might see some of that in Asia and elsewhere," Albert Mackenzie, a copper analyst at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said. The Yangshan Copper Premium , a benchmark for what Chinese buyers will pay above LME for copper still outside the country, fell 5% to $62 on Thursday, reflecting the offers now on the table, according to a Singapore-based copper trader. Major international trading houses are offering thousands of tons of cargo originally destined for the U.S. for delivery in late July and August to Chinese buyers, they added. The most-traded copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell for the fifth day on Thursday, down 0.4% to 78,600 yuan per ton after touching its lowest since June 23.
