If the US government shuts down on October 1, 2025, the release of important economic data, specifically jobs figures due that Friday (October 3, 2025) and inflation data due in mid-October 2025, will be postponed.
"And if there is a shutdown on Wednesday, there's also going to be a delay in the release of really important economic data. Investors across the world and the Federal Reserve are waiting on really important jobs figures this Friday. And inflation data that's due out in a couple of weeks will both be postponed."
