The weekly report on initial jobless claims is set for release at the bottom of the hour.

Expectations are for the report to show claims totaled 270,000 last week, unchanged from the prior week and near post-crisis lows.

Jobless claims - which track new and continuing unemployment insurance filings - have been one of the strongest labor market indicators for most of the last year.

At the same time that claims are released, we'll also get the latest report on retail sales, which is likely to be the market's big focus.

We'll be back with the latest numbers when they cross.
