U.S. inflation report canceled, raising uncertainty for Fed policy
Cancellation of October CPI data following a shutdown adds uncertainty to upcoming Fed rate decisions.
The U.S. government announced it will not publish the October consumer inflation index due to complications arising from the recent federal shutdown, leaving critical data unavailable ahead of the next Federal Reserve meeting.
The absence of this key release heightens uncertainty over the timing and scale of future rate decisions. Analysts warn that while missing data may broaden the Fed’s flexibility, it also raises market volatility as investors and policymakers attempt to navigate monetary strategy with incomplete inflation signals.
