ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. November import prices rise 0.2%; Imported natural-gas prices rise 30.3%, tap a two-year high
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:38 AM ET Dec 14, 2006

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The prices of goods imported into the U.S. rose 0.2% in November, as prices for imported petroleum fell, but imported natural gas skyrocketed.

Imported natural-gas prices climbed 30.3% in November, hitting a two-year high, according to a Labor Department report on Thursday. Imported petroleum prices, meanwhile, dropped 1.6%.

The rise in overall import prices reversed a two-month-long decline and beat the expectations of Wall Street economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Analysts expected the price index to be flat in November.

Excluding petroleum import prices, import prices rose by 0.7%.

Import prices excluding all fuels rose by 0.1%.

Prices for imported petroleum fell by 1.6% in November, Labor Department figures show. The relatively small decline in petroleum prices comes after two months of hefty declines. The price of imported petroleum fell by 10.1% in October and 10.9% in September.

Prices for imported capital goods were unchanged.

Export prices rose 0.4% in November, the data show.

Agricultural exports climbed 4.4% after a 1.1% rise a month earlier.

Nonagricultural exports, meanwhile, rose 0.1%.

LOL... epá... isto com a mudança da hora... os dias ficaram mais curtos.... "ná dá pa tudo, né"


ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. weekly initial jobless claims fall to 304,000
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:33 AM ET Dec 14, 2006

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The number of Americans filing for first-time state unemployment benefits fell to its lowest level since mid-October, indicating a somewhat tighter labor market, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

Initial jobless claims dropped by 20,000 to 304,000 in the week ending Dec. 9, government figures showed. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average of new claims fell by 1,500 to 327,250, according to the data.

Initial claims are down 5% versus year-ago levels.

Economists consider the four-week average a better indicator of the labor market because it smoothes out one-time events like holidays, weather and strikes.

The number of workers continuing to claim jobless benefits dropped off by 33,000 in the week ending Dec. 2, to 2.47 million. It's the lowest since Nov. 18.

Continuing claims are down 4.5% compared to last year.

The four-week moving average of continuing claims, however, rose to its highest level since early September. It climbed by 9,250 to 2.47 million.

Initial claims were lower than the 320,000 economists were expecting.

Initial claims for the week ending Dec. 2 were unrevised at 324,000.

The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate stayed at 1.9% for the week ending Dec. 2.
