Initial jobless claims in the US rose slightly to 199,000 in the week ending Aug. 1, remaining below 200,000 for a third straight week and pushing the four-week moving average to its lowest level since Sep. 2022, the Labor Department said Thursday. Continued claims increased to 1.8 million, roughly in line with expectations.
