Gold rally may be losing steam but no major correction seen: DB
Investing.com -- The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced Friday it will publish the September consumer inflation report on October 24, despite the ongoing government shutdown.
The BLS stated this exception is being made to help the Social Security Administration determine the annual cost-of-living adjustment for 2026, allowing it to meet statutory deadlines for accurate and timely benefit payments.
The government shutdown, which began October 1 after funding lapsed, has suspended the collection, processing and publishing of other economic data. This has already delayed the release of September’s employment report that was scheduled for last Friday.
"BLS will publish the September 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Friday, October 24, 2025, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time. No other releases will be rescheduled or produced until the resumption of regular government services," the BLS said in a statement on its website.
The CPI report will be the only economic data released by the agency until regular government operations resume.
