The release

Released by the Department of Labor on 6 August 2026 at 8:30 AM EDT. Continued Jobless Claims fell to 1777K for the week ending 25th Jul, from 1801K in the week ending 18th Jul.

It arrived at the same moment as Initial Jobless Claims, so the reaction measured on this page belongs to all of them together.

How Internet Computer moved

Internet Computer was at $2.090 when the figure came out. Fifteen minutes later it was unchanged, and an hour later unchanged. Its high-to-low range in the hour after was 0.96% of its price, against 0.96% in the hour before.

Measured by Clometrix

Internet Computer's volume ratio was 0.71x, against a typical 1.60x. Its volatility ratio could not be measured: the price barely moved through the rest of the day, so there is no ordinary quarter hour to compare against. The ratio compares the quarter hour of the release with an ordinary quarter hour that same day, where 1.00x is no change.

What made it matter

Since 2021, Continued Claims releases in the two weeks before a Fed decision have moved Internet Computer about as much as those at other times: a median volatility ratio of 1.51x across 86, against 1.32x across 192. This one was not within two weeks of a Fed decision.

Its record

Across 278 Continued Claims releases since 2021, Internet Computer's median volatility ratio is 1.46x.
