shutdown

The U.S. shutdown has ended, but official data remain sparse, with key jobs and inflation figures not due to be released until after the Federal Reserve’s next decision on Dec. 10.

“It came after the federal government shutdown got resolution, and that could also lead to a good Black Friday event this year.”

But streams of data are thinner, Rajnarayanan noted, and more delayed because of the shutdown.

Although it is not uncommon for single media outlets to go on strike in Italy, it is rare for the entire sector to hold a shutdown.

The 42-day government shutdown wreaked havoc on scheduled releases of official economic data—figures crucial for the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decisions and catalysts for investor behavior.
