The expectations for the Fed to begin reducing interest rates from the September meeting have escalated as a recent set of job data has indicated that labor market conditions are steadily cooling.

The United States Department of Labor reported on Thursday that individuals claiming jobless benefits for the first time were highest in the last eight months. For the week ending May 3, Initial Jobless Claims (IJC) were 231K, significantly higher than the consensus of 210K and the prior reading of 209K, upwardly revised from 208K. In addition to rising jobless claims, US employers added fewer jobs in April. Fresh Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) were 175K, the lowest in six months.
