➡️ The number of applications for unemployment benefits in the United States fell by 4,000 in the week ended November 9, to 217,000, according to a survey released by the country's Department of Labor on Thursday, 14. The result came in below the forecast of analysts consulted by FactSet, who expected an increase of 224,000.

➡️ Continued economic growth, a solid labor market and inflation that remains above the 2% target mean that the US central bank does not need to rush to cut the benchmark interest rate and can deliberate carefully, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Thursday.
