The ongoing US government shutdown has led to the postponement of the October non-farm payroll data release, originally scheduled for November 7th. This is the second consecutive delay, following the absence of the September report. The US Secretary of Labor confirmed that the data will be published once the government resumes operations. Other economic data releases are also on hold. The US Senate is attempting to pass a new temporary funding bill to end the shutdown, which has already failed 14 times, marking the longest shutdown in history.
