On October 24, local time, CCTV reporters learned that the White House stated that as the government shutdown has entered its fourth week, it may not be able to release inflation data next month, which will be the first time in more than 70 years.
The Trump administration said the Bureau of Labor Statistics would not be able to complete the inflation report because investigators could not go out to collect data. Affected by the shutdown, the release of inflation data for September has been delayed by nine days.
Analysts pointed out that the lack of inflation data will put the Fed facing greater uncertainty when adjusting interest rates and assessing price trends.
