🇺🇸 Truflation US Inflation (YoY): 2.25% We’re on Day 7 of the government shutdown, and with each passing day, the data gap widens. - Labor impact: The White House warns mass federal layoffs could begin this week, potentially distorting near-term employment and wage data, key drivers of inflation expectations. - Missed releases so far: Oct 2 Jobless Claims, Oct 3 Employment Report. - Next at risk: Oct 10 CPI, Oct 15 PPI, Oct 16 Retail Sales, Oct 30 GDP. - Data collection halted: BLS jobs and wage surveys, Census economic indicators, and most price data collection for the CPI. All are critical inputs for inflation measurement. As official metrics freeze, real-time, independent data remains the only window into what’s really happening. Truflation continues gathering data 24/7, keeping access alive.
