The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits slid last week to
the lowest level in more than four and a half years, according to government data that
may provide a boost to President Barack Obama a month before voters go to the polls.
The overall trend seems to be that the labor market is improving. Seasonal
factors had predicted a very large increase in claims last week, which he said would be
typical for the first week of the quarter. Unadjusted claims did rise, but far less than
expected, resulting in the sharp drop in the seasonally adjusted figure.

The governor of the Bank of Greece was given a severance payment of 3.4 million
euros when he left his former employer, a major bank that he now regulates, documents
seen by Reuters show. George Provopoulos was awarded the sum when he stepped
down as vice-chairman of Piraeus Bank to become governor of Greece's central bank
and a member of the board of the European Central Bank in 2008

Gold rose on Thursday, tracking U.S. equities and other commodities higher, as a
sharp drop in the number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits helped the
metal snap four straight days of declines.
The metal, a traditional inflation hedge, was boosted by economic optimism after
U.S. government data on Thursday showed jobless claims fell by a surprisingly large
30,000 last week to the lowest level in four and a half years.
Gold is very much moving in line with other riskier assets, and any type of
healthy economic data goes a long way to boost demand for gold and other riskier
assets.
