Initial jobless claims rose by 14,000 to 217,000, firmly above market expectations for a reading of 210,000 and marking a sharp increase from the upwardly revised, 11-month low in the previous week.

Continuing claims unexpectedly fell to 1.85m, while the four-week moving average came to 212,750, a decrease of 750 from the previous week's revised average.
