U.S. unemployment claims fall more than forecast
Initial jobless claims for unemployment benefits in the world's largest economy declined at a steeper pace than economists originally expected in the week to December 21, reflecting higher volatility on the labour market during the holidays. The U.S. jobless claims dropped from 380,000 to 338,000 last week, while it was forecast to record 340,000.
