今週の米国株市況・弱気相場の地ならしという感じ？
S&P500の125日・移動平均線の下をうろうろするような状態。Fear&Greed(恐怖＆欲）指数はまだ低いレベルを行ったり来たりしてます。
今週発表された米国の経済指標に特別警戒すべきものはなさそうです。
--以下--
Jobless Claim（失業保険受給申請件数）はほぼコンセンサス通り。
| Prior | Consensus | Consensus Range | Actual | |
| New Claims - Level | 242 K | 230 K | 225 K to 232 K | 233 K |
| 4-week Moving Average - Level | 228.25 K | 230.00 K | ||
| New Claims - Change | 24 K | -9 K |
Weekly series fluctuate more dramatically than monthly series even when the series are adjusted for seasonal variation. The 4-week moving average gives a better perspective on the underlying trend.

Consumer sentiment is mainly affected by inflation and employment conditions. However, consumers are also impacted by current events such as bear & bull markets, geopolitical events such as war and terrorist attacks. Investors monitor consumer sentiment because it tends to have an impact on consumer spending over the long run [although not necessarily on a monthly basis.]
