Claims for unemployment benefits drop to 197,000, the lowest since mid-July as layoffs remain rare
Why now

Catalyst to watch: Next claims print or payrolls
Main risk: Claims can be volatile week to week
Why it matters
Low jobless claims signal a tight labor market, supporting hawkish Fed policy and higher-for-longer rates.
