The U.S. government shutdown has stalled key economic data releases since October 1, but attention now turns to the consumer price report, a closely watched inflation gauge that is due on Friday, just ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on October 28-29.
September’s core inflation is expected to hold steady at 3.1 per cent.
“There’s still no sign of a compromise between Republicans and Democrats that would see the government re-open. In terms of the market implications, this is still affecting the flow of economic data, so we’re not getting regular releases,” Henry Allen, macro strategist at Deutsche Bank, said.
Meanwhile, the Fed has not pushed back against rate-cut expectations, and futures are pricing in a quarter-point easing this month, with another reduction likely in December.
