US cancels release of CPI report for October because of government shutdown

WASHINGTON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday it had canceled the release of October's consumer price report because the recently ended government shutdown had prevented the collection of data.

"BLS is unable to retroactively collect these data. For a few indexes, BLS uses nonsurvey data sources instead of survey data to make the index calculations," the BLS said in a statement. "BLS is able to retroactively acquire most of the nonsurvey data for October. Where possible, BLS will publish October 2025 values for these series with the release of November 2025 data."

The agency this week also canceled the release of October's employment report for the same reason. (Reporting by Lucia Mutikani and Bhargav Acharya, Editing by Franklin Paul)

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.
