Thursday preview: Weekly US jobless claims, Beazley in focus

Wed, 07th Aug 2024 13:50

(Sharecast News) - The economic calendar on Thursday will be very light.

However, the latest weekly unemployment claims data due out in the US may receive even more attention than usual in the wake of the soft July non-farm payrolls report published two days before.

Consensus is for a decline from the 249,000 initial jobless claims seen during the week before to 240,000 over the seven day stretch that ended on 3 August.

"With hardly any data coming in today, markets only have the jobless claims to gaze at," analysts at Rabobank said.

"However, after last Friday's weak labour report that indicated a cooling labour market, markets are likely to look for signs of further weakening. As such, while jobless claims usually do not have the potential to really move markets, higher than expected (continuing) jobless claims could spark renewed fears of a hard landing. With that in mind a lack of data for today does not necessarily imply a dull trading day."

Also scheduled, for 1530 BST and 1730 BST, were US Treasury auctions for four-week bills and 30-year bonds, respectively.

In company news, Beazley will update investors will release its first half results.

UBS analyst Will Hardcastle was anticipating interim profit before tax of $454m, putting him 8% ahead of the consensus.

The headline combined operating ratio for the half was pegged at 81.2% or 20 basis points ahead of the consensus.

IN BRIEF: Beazley says CrowdStrike debacle won't hit financial results

Beazley PLC - London-based specialist insurance underwriter, managing six Lloyd's of London syndicates - Confirms there is no change to its guidance for underwriting performance, following the global IT crash on Friday last week caused by a faulty software update by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. Beazley notes that it is a leading cyber insurer but says that, "based on what is known at this point", the event will not change its guidance for an undiscounted combined ratio in the low-80s for 2024. A combined ratio below 100 means a profit on underwriting, so the lower the better. Beazley says it will profit an update with its first-half results on August 8.
