[Moody's: U.S. Economic Data to Be Released Soon, Deviations from Expectations May Raise Questions About Policy Credibility] Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, stated that after the U.S. government experienced a record-breaking shutdown, key economic data will soon be released, providing important insights into the state of the U.S. economy. He noted that the lack of official data during the shutdown left the market "flying blind in the fog." Zandi mentioned that data from private institutions has offered the market some expectations, but if the actual data deviates from these expectations, it could trigger significant market volatility and raise doubts about the effectiveness of Federal Reserve policies during the shutdown. He added that if the data aligns with expectations, the market reaction will likely be more stable.
