Initial unemployment claims are expected to jump modestly but stay in the safe zone in tomorrow\u2019s update, as layoffs prospects remain subdued across the economy. The prior Thursday\u2019s 197k is projected to rise to around 200k, according to the weekly Reuters poll consisting of 34 forecasters. Additionally, there appears to be a narrow range of potential outcomes, as the minimum and maximum estimates within the survey stand at 195k and 205k. In the Interactive Brokers Prediction Markets, investors are looking for a slightly hotter-than-anticipated headline, as the \u201cYes\u201d corresponding with a result of at least 200k goes for $0.63. Over and under, meanwhile, the \u201cYeses\u201d at 210k, 205k and 195k are at $0.06, $0.17 and $0.83. For participants that could be factoring in an increase, the loftier thresholds may seem undervalued to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
