U.S. unemployment claims fall
U.S. jobless claims dropped surprisingly past week to more than a two-month low as it gets harder to adapt for seasonal variations. Unemployment claims fell to 298,000 in the previous week that ended November 30, according to Labor Department; however, economists predicted a rise to 320,000. This reading is the lowest in almost three months.
