WASHINGTON — The U.S. Labor Department reported Thursday that initial jobless claims fell to 189,000 for the week ending April 25, a 26,000 decrease from the prior revised level of 215,000, marking the lowest weekly level since 1969 and reducing the four-week moving average to 207,500 this week. Market participants this week interpreted the data as reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged in the near term, while economists and data firms cautioned that rising energy and commodity costs tied to the U.S.-Israel war with Iran and shipping disruptions could produce delayed negative effects on layoffs and industry margins.
