The jobless claims reading fell from 1.1 million to 1 million, meeting forecasts. The continuing claims update dropped to 14.4 million, from 14.8 million,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gross domestic product (GDP) for the second quarter was revised to negative 31.7% from negative 32.9%, while economists had been expecting negative 32.5.<\/p>\n<h3>US and Canada 4.15pm\/11.15am EST<\/h3>\n<h3>Wall Street benchmarks were in the green in early deals in New York on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 227 points at 28,559. The broader-based S&amp;P 500 added around 16 points at 3,493. The tech-heavy Nasdaq exchange added over<\/h3>\n<h3>3.45pm: London a very dull sideshow to the US cabaret<\/h3>\n<p>Jerome Powell has now said his piece at the symposium of central bankers (virtually) hosted in Jackson Hole, and the reactions are beginning to come in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFed chair Jay Powell announced a new monetary policy framework based on average inflation targeting (AIT), as had been anticipated. I read this as admission by the Fed that the monetary and fiscal response to the pandemic will ultimately prove inflationary (M1 increase, deglobalisation etc), but that the Fed does not want to pull the handbrake on a long and slow recovery by being constrained with a mandate to keep inflation level. Its also increasingly politically tuned into recent events in prioritising jobs over price stability,\u201d said Neil Wilson at markets.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPowell stressed that if excessive inflationary pressures were to build, or inflation expectations were to rise above levels consistent with its mandate, the Fed would not hesitate to act. This gives it a degree of latitude down the line should there be a major inflation overshoot,\u201d Wilson added.<\/p>\n<p>Powell spoke a short while after the latest figures showed the US economy contracted slightly less than previously thought in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Gross domestic product was down by an eye-popping annualised rate of 31.7% but that was an improvement on the flash estimate of 32.9%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt 31.7% down on the previous quarter, the collapse in US output during Q2 was more brutal even than that seen during the depths of the Great Depression a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgainst this backdrop, the frothiness of US equities is frankly baffling. With the S&amp;P 500 hitting another record high on Wednesday, the question is increasingly when, not if, the bubble bursts,\u201d suggested Richard Berry, the founder of goodmoneyguide.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen again the upward revision to GDP will take some of the sting out the Buffett indicator \u2013 a useful market barometer which compares GDP to total stock market value and is currently suggesting that equities are overvalued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet with global cases of coronavirus still rising fast and earlier signs of economic recovery petering out, investors are struggling to square a market that is looking ever more detached from macroeconomic reality,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n<p>On the obs front, initial jobless last week remained above the one million mark but fell to 1.01mln from 1.10mln the week before \u2013 pretty much in line with the consensus forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing claims declined to 14.54mln from the previous weeks 14.76mln; economists had forecast a figure of 14.4mln.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe weekly initial claims numbers are noisy but the underlying trend probably is still falling, albeit slowly,\u201d speculated Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist at Pantheon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had hoped that claims would be well under one million by now, but the second COVID wave scuppered that idea. Note that claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance rose by a hefty 83K this week, but the data are unadjusted and volatile. Still, to see total new claims, regular and PUA, running at 1,603K is depressing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>With all of the above going on across the pond, the FTSE 100 remained a not very interesting sideshow. The index initially moved into positive territory after Powells speech but is back in the doldrums, down a couple of points (0.0%) at 6,043.<\/p>\n<h3>3.30pm\/ 10.30am EST: Proactive North America

the opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.38% at 28,438 while the S&amp;P 500 climbed 0.23% to 3,481 and the Nasdaq rose 0.2% to 11,685.<\/p>\n<p>The central bank said it has adopted

policy framework has been the hot topic this week, with everyone speculating about what changes the Fed will consider that will allow interest rates to remain lower for longer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite central banks offering unprecedented amounts of stimulus and stock markets hitting new highs on a regular basis, investors are craving another stimulus fix.
