Jobless claims in the U.S. probably fell by 2,000 to 310,000 in the week ended June 21, according to the median forecast of 42 economists surveyed by Bloomberg before a Labor Department report today. Consumer spending in the U.S. probably gained 0.4% in May, a separate survey shows.
“There’s a broad theory that the recovery in the U.S. is gaining pace,” said Michael McCarthy, a chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. “In the face of increasing supplies, prices have held firm and that suggests that the clear driver at the moment is geopolitical tensions.”
U.S. crude stockpiles expanded by 1.74 million barrels last week to 388.1 million, the Energy Information Administration said yesterday. They were projected to shrink by 1.7 million barrels, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Gasoline inventories rose for a fourth week, gaining 710,000 barrels to 215 million, according to the EIA.
