The government shutdown will delay the September employment report, affecting the data for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, based on the operational emergency plan of the U.S. Department of Labor, if the federal government experiences a shutdown, the September employment report originally scheduled for release next Friday will face delays. The specific impact of the shutdown is still unclear, and agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics will operate according to the emergency plan, pausing all data collection work and planned data releases. This will result in the Federal Reserve missing several key employment and inflation economic data before its policy meeting on October 28-29, increasing the risks in policy-making.
