About these releases
- Fed speech
- A scheduled talk by a member of the Federal Reserve Board. Board members vote at every rate meeting, so markets listen for hints about policy.
- Initial jobless claims
- The number of people who filed a first claim for state unemployment benefits in the latest week.
- 30-year bond auction
- Treasury sells new debt to investors, and the winning bids set its yield. Weak demand can lift long-term rates, which mortgage rates tend to follow.
