During the entire suspension period, the only core economic data that was not interrupted was the September Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is typically released on October 24. The reason for this is that CPI data is directly used to calculate the cost of living adjustments for federal benefits, making it a legally mandated core indicator. However, its isolated existence has failed to change the market's judgment dilemma regarding the economic outlook. In the context of frequent adjustments in U.S. policies and increasing fluctuations in input costs, the absence of most key indicators has led to rare contradictions in economic signals: employment growth continues to slow down while the unemployment rate remains low, economic growth showed strong performance mid-year but struggles to hide insufficient internal momentum, and inflation levels consistently run high without effectively approaching the Fed's 2% policy target.
