U.S. 4-week Treasury auction to Oct. 1: percentage allocated at the stop-out yield 23.52%, down from 54.97% previously.

US initial jobless claims edged down to their lowest level since July, while continuing claims fell 11,000 to 1.70 mln, the lowest since March 2023, indicating a still-healthy labor market. The four-week moving average of initial claims dropped to 200k, a seven-week low. Unadjusted initial claims fell in most states, including Hawaii, Georgia and Texas. Attention turns to Friday’s nonfarm payrolls, where September unemployment is forecast to remain at 4.1%.
