U.S. stock indexes opened lower on Thursday after data shows the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits came in higher than expected last week, a sign suggesting the labor market has softened more than previously believed in the face of higher interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.31% dropped 65 points, or 0.2%, to 33,421. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.45% was down 0.
3%, while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.71% declined by 0.5%. In the seven days ended April 1, new jobless claims fell to 228,000 from a revised 246,000 in the prior week, topping the 200,000 level for the ninth week in a row, after changes to the seasonal adjustment formula. The latest report adds to evidence of a softening labor market after a wave of weak economic data earlier this week fueled hopes of a pause in the Federal Reserve's rapid interest rate hikes.
