WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Wednesday it would not be publishing the closely watched employment report for October, after the recently ended shutdown of the government prevented the collection of data for the household survey.

"Establishment survey data from the Current Employment Statistics survey for October 2025 will be published with the November 2025 data," BLS said in a statement. "Household survey data from the Current Population Survey could not be collected for the October 2025 reference period due to a lapse in appropriations. The household survey data is not able to be retroactively collected." (Reporting by Lucia Mutikani and Katharine Jackson; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama )

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.
