Teniamo duro Salvina, aspettiamo che qualche somaro finisca di comprare (magari fondi che devono uscire dall'azionario, mia ipotesi)
Domani non ci sono dati, compreranno azionario per "chiudersi" la settimana, e magari daranno ai bond una bella pettinata...

Jobless Claims Lowest in Nearly 4 Years
Thursday July 8, 8:34 am ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. jobless claims staged an unexpectedly steep fall to the lowest level in nearly four years with 39,000 fewer workers applying for initial aid, the government said on Thursday, but seasonal adjustment factors skewed the report.
First-time claims for state unemployment insurance benefits plunged to 310,000 in the week ended July 3, down from a revised 349,000 the prior week, the Labor Department said.
It was the lowest level since 302,000 in the week ended October 8, 2000.
A department official said the seasonal adjustment method used to calculate the data had anticipated a surge in claims in the latest week for automakers' annual summer maintenance shutdowns. However, that rise did not occur in the week it was expected.
The official added that July tends to be a volatile month for claims overall.
Wall Street economists had forecast a fall to 345,000 from the originally reported 351,000 claims in the prior week.
The slide nudged the closely watched four-week moving average down to 336,000 from 346,250 the prior week, the department said. The average, which irons out weekly fluctuations in the more-volatile weekly figures, was well below the 420,000 recorded in the same period a year ago.
The report showed signs that those laid off are able to find new work. The number of people who remained on state rolls after collecting a week of benefits fell by 85,000 to 2.87 million in the week ended June 26, the latest week for which data are available.
