According to The Kobeissi Letter, ADP data show U.S. companies shed about 2,500 jobs per week in October (ADP National Employment Report), while the U.S. Department of Labor reported 232,000 initial jobless claims for the week ended October 18 (U.S. Department of Labor); labor-market readings are a key input for Federal Reserve policy that transmits to rates and risk appetite across assets, including crypto (Federal Reserve).

According to @KobeissiLetter, the Chicago Fed estimates the U.S. unemployment rate increased to 4.36% in October, the highest since October 2021, with the rise tied to slower hiring, higher layoffs, quits, retirements, and the government shutdown, source: @KobeissiLetter citing Chicago Fed. The unemployment rate has risen by a full percentage point since May 2023, source: @KobeissiLetter. US-based employers announced 1,099,500 layoffs year-to-date, nearly matching the pace seen in 2009, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, source: @KobeissiLetter citing Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

According to @KobeissiLetter, average US car insurance premiums are expected to rise 4% by end-2025 to a record $2,402, with the national average for full-coverage potentially climbing up to 7% to $2,472 (source: The Kobeissi Letter). Premiums are projected to surge at least 12% in Rhode Island, Michigan, Maine, Washington, D.C., and Delaware (source: The Kobeissi Letter). Maryland currently has the highest average premium at $4,093, up 20% year over year (source: The Kobeissi Letter). Nationwide, car insurance costs have already increased by $759, or 49%, since 2021, pushing overall car ownership costs to new highs (source: The Kobeissi Letter). Motor vehicle insurance is a component of the Consumer Price Index tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, making these increases relevant for inflation readings (source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Persistently higher CPI can keep Federal Reserve policy restrictive for longer under its inflation mandate, a key driver for rate-sensitive risk assets including BTC and ETH (source: Federal Reserve). Traders should monitor upcoming CPI prints and the motor vehicle insurance subindex for signals on inflation persistence and interest-rate path implications (source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
