The latest jobless claims data add further evidence the U.S. labor market is not healing much from a slowdown in March. Applications for first-time unemployment benefits barely dropped last week, in data that will be used to help form the Labor Department's April employment report. The four-week moving average, which is considered a trend indicator, moved up.

Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector is showing growing pains also. Business activity in the Mid-Atlantic region slowed sharply this month as new orders dropped to a seven-month low. And then there is housing. Sales of previously owned house dropped in March, but there are hopeful signs: there was less supply and small price gains.

Taking into account all the figures released on Thursday: there's some belief the warm weather earlier this year pulled economic activity forward, which is now moderating; something the Federal Reserve will have to consider when it holds a two-day policy meeting next week. Fed watchers don't expect any changes, but expect policy makers to leave the door open for additional stimulus if the recent slowdown gathers pace.
