Recently, the impact of the U.S. government shutdown is gradually becoming apparent, with the release of economic data being the first to be affected. It is reported that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has suspended operations due to the government shutdown, resulting in the forced delay of the release of several important economic indicators.

The non-farm payroll report originally scheduled for release tonight has become another victim of the shutdown. This report, which is highly anticipated by the market, is usually published at 8:30 PM Eastern Time on the first Friday of each month, but it may not meet investors as scheduled this time. Moreover, the unemployment claims data scheduled for release on Thursday also failed to be published on time, further exacerbating market uncertainty.

Interestingly, although the non-farm employment data for September is believed to have been collected, and may even be ready, the final release time remains a mystery due to the silence of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This situation undoubtedly adds extra speculation and volatility to the financial markets.

The government shutdown's interference with the release of economic data not only affects the judgments of policymakers but may also have profound implications for the decisions of investors and businesses. As the shutdown persists, there is growing concern about when this situation will be resolved and how the market will react to the lack of information during this period.

This incident once again highlights the importance of government operations in the transmission of economic information, while also prompting people to reflect on alternative data sources and the mechanisms for the release of economic indicators. As the situation develops, we will continue to monitor the potential impact of this event on the U.S. and even the global economy.
