# New York FX: US weekly jobless claims fall unexpectedly

> The dollar initially gained after US weekly jobless claims fell unexpectedly to a 57-year low and preliminary third-quarter productivity reached a one-year high. It later weakened against the yen as an AI-led stock selloff drove safe-haven demand and lower Treasury yields; USD/JPY closed at 157.72 after reaching 158.50.
