BTCCSquare news:
The federal government shutdown created a backlog of unreleased economic reports, leaving investors and policymakers without critical data on inflation, employment, and growth. While agencies are now catching up, the delays have introduced uncertainty into market forecasts.
Key reports originally scheduled for October through December are now being released in January. The revised schedule includes trade deficits, housing starts, and retail sales—all crucial for assessing the health of the U.S. economy.
Statistical agencies face logistical challenges in consolidating missed reports. Some datasets have been merged or canceled entirely, further complicating the interpretation of economic trends.
