**\[Macroeconomic News\]**

**The number of initial jobless claims in the U.S. rose slightly during the week of Presidents' Day, but was below expectations.** Last week, the increase in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the U.S. was lower than expected, indicating that layoffs remain at a low level. For the week ending February 21, initial jobless claims increased by 4,000 to 212,000, with the median forecast at 215,000. This survey period included the Presidents' Day holiday. Continuing claims for unemployment benefits fell to 1.83 million. Application data around holidays may show fluctuations. However, the current number of initial jobless claims is relatively low, which aligns with other recent data indicating stability in the labor market. The employment report for February will be released on March 6, which will help policymakers assess whether the strong job growth and decline in the unemployment rate in January were just temporary changes or signs of sustained improvement **U.S. 30-Year Mortgage Rates Fall Below 6% for the First Time Since 2022.** The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage in the U.S. has fallen below 6% for the first time since 2022, a milestone that could inject vitality into the upcoming spring home sales season. According to Freddie Mac's data released on Thursday, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage is 5.98%, down from 6.01% last week. The last time it fell below 6% was in September 2022. The drop to the "5" range will slightly ease the burden of home buying and may encourage some hesitant buyers to enter the market. Since interest rates surged in 2022, the real estate market has been in a wait-and-see mode, with many potential buyers being pushed out of the market due to high prices, and most homeowners holding lower rates are unwilling to sell. Mike Simonsen, chief economist at real estate brokerage Compass Inc., stated that the slow improvement in affordability could make this spring's selling season one of the best in years. "With rates below 6%, national sales will see solid growth," Simonsen said, "but without significant changes in economic data, nothing will be enough to recreate the boom seen in 2021."

**Goldman Sachs: Nvidia's Strong Earnings Report Fails to Prevent Stock Price Decline, Profit-Taking Pressure Emerges.** Goldman Sachs pointed out that despite Nvidia (NVDA.US) reporting a 73% year-over-year revenue growth and providing an optimistic outlook for its AI business, the stock still fell 4.5%, dragging down the semiconductor sector and the S&P 500 index. Analysts noted that this reflects a "sell the news" market, profit-taking, and concerns about the sustainability of AI capital expenditures by large cloud service providers. AI spending is expected to grow by 62% in 2026, down from 73% in 2025, but supply-demand imbalances and strong balance sheets may still push expectations higher. Current data center demand and memory bottlenecks provide support for Nvidia, with market focus shifting to 2027, when capital expenditures may peak.
