US weekly jobless claims report will not be released if government shuts down

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 09/30/25 11:18 AM EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Labor Department said on Tuesday the weekly jobless claims report would not be released in the event of a government shutdown, clarifying an earlier statement.

Government funding will expire at midnight on Tuesday unless Republicans and Democrats agree to a last-minute temporary spending deal. The Labor and Commerce departments said on Monday economic data releases, including September's employment report would be halted, should the government shutdown.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
