[U.S. September Nonfarm Payroll Data Not Released as Scheduled Due to Government Shutdown, First Time in 12 Years]
Affected by the U.S. federal government "shutdown," the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was unable to release the September nonfarm payroll report as planned at 20:30 Beijing time. This marks the first occurrence of such a situation since 2013. At that time, due to a government shutdown, the nonfarm payroll data originally scheduled for release on October 4 was delayed until October 22. Other economic data impacted this time include initial jobless claims, monthly construction spending, monthly factory orders, and monthly durable goods orders. According to U.S. media reports, the Senate is set to vote again on October 3 on a temporary funding bill to extend federal government funding. If the bill is not passed, the government shutdown could continue into next week.
