World shares rose on Thursday after Chinese exports proved far stronger than expected, while the U.S. dollar climbed to two-week highs on its safe-haven status after another report showed millions more Americans took unemployment aid.
Initial U.S. jobless claims for state unemployment benefits totalled a seasonally adjusted 3.169 million for the week ended May 2, down from a revised 3.846 million in the prior week, the Labor Department's weekly jobless claims report showed.
The data reinforced economists' expectations of a protracted recovery for the U.S. economy, which is reeling from nationwide lockdowns to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
