Government Shutdown Could Delay Next Inflation Report Amid Economically Devastating Consequences

The White House warned that a government shutdown could delay or eliminate the next inflation report, potentially causing significant economic fallout despite current optimistic numbers and reports of lower-than-expected inflation rates. The delay would have significant implications for investors, economists, and consumers who rely on timely data to make informed decisions. The shutdown's impact on the economy is likely to be felt long after it ends.
