Initial Jobless Claims -- December 1, 2022

"When everybody is predicting the same thing, something else will likely happen."

Initial jobless claims: down 16,000 to 225,000.

Dow moves up. Futures up 100 points. At open, down 100. Profit taking from yesterday's huge. I expect Dow to close in the green before the weekend.

Personal income: up 0.7% vs 0.4% estimate.

JOLTs from yesterday: down but still more than 10 million job openings. JOLTS.
