ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. weekly jobless claims lowest since January; Initial unemployment claims decline for fourth consecutive week
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:42 AM ET May 10, 2007
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- In a sign of a tight labor market, U.S. weekly jobless claims fell to their lowest level since mid-January, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
First time applications for state unemployment benefits fell by 9,000 to 297,000 in the week ending May 5, the department said, the lowest since Jan. 13.
Initial unemployment claims have now fallen for four consecutive weeks.
The four-week average of new claims also fell, by 11,500 to 317,250.
The previous week's initial claims were revised slightly upward, to 306,000 from 305,000.
Meanwhile, the number of people collecting unemployment benefits rose by 65,000 to 2.55 million in the week ending April 28. It's the highest level of continuing claims since April 14.
The four-week moving average of continuing claims -- which smoothes out distortions like weather and strikes and is considered a more accurate indicator -- rose by 7,750 to 2.54 million. It's the highest since March 10.
Initial claims represent job destruction, while the level of continuing claims indicates how hard or easy it is for displaced workers to find new jobs.
The insured unemployment rate, or the percentage of those eligible for benefits who are collecting, remained at 1.9%.

ECONOMIC REPORT: Trade gap widens sharply in March
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:31 AM ET May 10, 2007
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. trade deficit in March widened sharply after showing some improvement over the past six months, a government report showed Thursday.
The nation's trade deficit widened by 10.4% in March to $63.9 billion, its highest level since last September, the Commerce Department said. It is the largest increase in the deficit since September 2005.
The size of the trade deficit surprised economists. Analysts surveyed by MarketWatch had expected the deficit to widen only to $59.6 billion.
The trade gap in February was revised down to $57.9 billion from the previous estimate of $58.4 billion.
For the first three months of the year, the deficit totaled $180.7 billion, down from $191.6 billion over the same period last year.
As a result of the deterioration in the trade balance in March, the deficit may be slightly more of a drag on first quarter growth, already at a low 1.3% annual rate.
The government had previously estimated that the trade sector subtracted 0.5% points from first quarter growth.
In March, imports and exports rebounded to their second highest levels on record, but imports rose faster than exports.
Imports of goods alone rose 5.1% to $160.3 billion in March. In addition to oil, the U.S. imported more autos, consumer goods, and food.
Exports of goods alone rose 2.0% to $90.2 billion. U.S. exports of industrial supplies, autos and consumer goods rose in March.
The gain in exports came despite a sharp drop of exports of civilian aircraft, primarily orders from Boeing Co. (BA :94.08, +0.22, +0.2%) .
Economists believe the strength of the U.S. export sector is an important pillar for U.S. economic growth this year, as consumer and business spending have recently cooled.
The strength of the export sector was apparent in March as the U.S. set record export levels with Canada, the European Union, Germany, China and Japan.
Oil
Oil import volumes rebounded in March after falling in the previous month.
The petroleum deficit widened 2.6% to $45.5 billion. This is the largest petroleum deficit since last September.
The U.S. imported 324.2 million barrels of crude oil in March, or 10.5 million barrels per day, the highest level since last August. These figures compared with 252.9 million barrels, or 9.0 million barrels, respectively, in February.
The average price per barrel of oil rose to $53 in March, its highest level since December.
China
The U.S. trade deficit with China widened to $17.2 billion in March from $15.6 billion in the same month last year. The trade gap with China was $18.4 billion in February.
The Bush Administration has taken a tougher stand with China on trade issues recently.
Top Chinese economic officials are due in Washington later this month for bilateral economic talks.
