The U.S. dollar appreciated against its major counterparts in
the New York session on Thursday, as weekly jobless claims remained
flat last week, indicating continued strength in the labor
market.
Data from the Labor Department showed that initial jobless
claims came in at 212,000, unchanged from the previous week's
revised level. Economists had expected jobless claims to rise to
215,000 from the 211,000 originally reported for the previous
week.
Data from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve showed a growth in
regional manufacturing activity in the month of April.
The Philly Fed said its diffusion index for current general

reading indicating growth. Economists had expected the index to
edge down to 1.5.
New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said that there
is no urgency to lower rates soon.
