TLT: Higher jobless claims can ease Fed tightening fears and support long-duration Treasuries. Rising jobless claims may modestly support Treasury prices as recession-risk hedges gain appeal. SPY: Labor market strength is a key macro input for S&P 500 earnings and rate expectations. Edge higher in claims is a mild negative for cyclical risk sentiment but not yet alarming.
