PLEASE NOTE: THIS EDIT CONTAINS 4:3 MATERIAL The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week. It's just more proof of the dire employment picture ahead of President Obama's address to Congress on job creation Thursday evening. But some encouragement - a separate report showed the trade deficit narrowed more than expected in July.

According to Freddie Mac, a 30-year fixed rate loan now averages 4.12 percent. Apple is asking Japan to stop selling some Samsung electronics in that country.
