Initial jobless claims rose from 437k to 439k last week. They were expected to increase to 442k.
Philadelphia Fed index increased from a reading of 1.0 in October to 22.5 in November. It was far above a predicted value of 5.1.
Leading indicators index for the US increased 0.5% in October, following a 0.5% increase in September. Forecasts guessed the actual value.
