Investing.com — The U.S. stock market opened in mixed conditions on Thursday. They were unable to increase their gains from Wednesday, which left them at an all-time high of record for the third consecutive day, despite strong tailwinds provided by a more relaxed Federal Reserve, and the strengthening labor market.

At 36,104 points at 9:45 am ET (1345 GMT), it was down 52 point or 0.2%. There was a slight increase of 0.1% in the index and 0.2% overall.

The Labor Department earlier reported that 269,000 initial jobless claims were at a post-pandemic record. Their current levels are at an all-time low that was not possible before the election of Donald Trump. The strong demand in the country ahead of holiday season was also evident, with imports reaching a record $288.5 billion in September.

Together with Wednesday’s ADP Private Nonfarm Payrolls Report, the data from jobless claims suggests that Friday’s official data for employment will indicate a clear acceleration in October. They have fallen to their lowest point in 8 months in September.
