At midday Thursday, the major benchmarks are hugging the flat line. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note is also flat at around 4.36%. Crude oil is up 1% at around $79 per barrel, while Bitcoin is up 1.6% to around $65,800. Weekly unemployment claims fell 10,000 to 232,000, according to the Department of Labor. This follows last week's claims that were at the highest level since last August. This data is seen as a proxy for layoffs and is an indicator of the state of the labor market. The average number of weekly claims over the past decade is 375,000. This week's claims number brings the four-week average up to 217,750. Bigger picture, the April Jobs report did show signs that the labor market is cooling. That is what the Fed is hoping will happen.
