U.S. initial jobless claims fall to near 57-year low
According to CoinWorld news, the number of new applications for unemployment benefits in the United States fell last week to the lowest level in nearly 57 years, indicating fewer layoffs and a stabilizing labor market. The U.S. Department of Labor said on Thursday that for the week ending October 17, initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 194,000, approaching the level of 189,000 reached in mid-July and marking the lowest value since 1969. Economists believe that strong domestic demand has driven profits higher, shielding workers from layoffs. However, as the U.S.-Israel war against Iran intensifies, tighter financial conditions and rising interest rates may restrain the labor market's performance next year.

Citrini partnered with Claude to research scorpion venom and identify new investment opportunities.
Citrini Research, in collaboration with Anthropic, had Claude attempt to design proteins resistant to scorpion venom, with the aim of identifying new investment opportunities. Citrini began covering the life sciences sector in June of this year, and in February published the "2028 Global Intelligence Crisis" report, which envisioned AI replacing white-collar workers on a large scale and triggering an economic recession. The team used Claude to generate approximately 320,000 protein designs, narrowed them down to 180 candidates, and ultimately found 17 proteins capable of binding to the target scorpion venom. Citrini found that as AI accelerates drug design, more candidate molecules need to be sent to laboratories for synthesis, testing, and validation, and therefore it is bullish on companies that provide experimental outsourcing and testing equipment to pharmaceutical firms.
