After last week's tumble to 280k, initial jobless claims rose modestly this week to 293k (slightly better than expected) but remain near a dovish-Yellen-crushing 14-year low. Continuing claims also remain at cycle lows around 2.4 million (rising modestly - by 7k - this week). The labor department cites no unusual or estimated claims this week. It appears this is as good as it gets and the Fed has reached its 'job-creating' mirage peak...
As good as it gets...

Poroshenko was on the tape with "positive" peace news... so one has to wonder, what drove this move? (as if we need a catalyst for market moves anymore)... Who knew what abouty claims and durable goods?
This is the market move into the data...?
