Negative macroeconomic statistics from the United States | 22 July 2022

22 July 2022, USD/JPY

USDJPY trading plan:

Applications for US state unemployment insurance rose for a third week to the highest since November as more companies announce job cuts, suggesting some softening in the labor market. Initial unemployment claims increased by 7,000 to 251,000 in the week ended July 16, Labor Department data showed. Continuing claims for state benefits rose 51,000 to 1.38 million in the week ended July 9, the biggest weekly increase since November. Unemployment claims are rising as more companies announce job cuts amid increasing fears of a recession. The trend may continue as the Federal Reserve ratchets up its fight against rampant inflation with some of the largest interest-rate hikes in decades, which could ultimately curb demand for workers.

Investment idea: sell 138.15 and take profit 137.60.
