Initial Jobless Claims | Reported 407,000 | Est 360,000 | Prior 366,000 | MODEST
First time claims for unemployments surged to 407,000! The highest number since 2005. This is a sign of further weakening in the jobs market. The Mortgage Backed Securities have responded well currently they are +31bp. The ISM Services Index is released at 10:00am. This should make for continued volatility today.
