Treasury prices are unchanged to slightly lower on the long-end of the curve on a relatively quiet morning thus far. In a somewhat rare occurrence in this environment, equity futures are actually pointing to a lower open for the three major indices. European shares are higher after France announced new stimulus measures (Euro Stoxx +1.13%). Initial jobless claims for the week ended August 29 fell more than expected to 881,000, the lowest level since March, but the Labor Department attributed the oversized decline to changes in seasonal adjustments, which were less appropriate in the current environment. On a positive note, continuing jobless claims fell to 13.1 million from 13.9 million the prior week on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.
