[Goldman Sachs: U.S. Macro Data Release May Be Delayed Until Next Week] On November 13, key U.S. macroeconomic data originally scheduled for release tonight, including the October unadjusted CPI year-over-year, October seasonally adjusted CPI month-over-month, and initial jobless claims for the week ending November 8, may be delayed. Although President Trump has signed a bill to end the U.S. government shutdown, Goldman Sachs expects these data will still be difficult to release on schedule. The Bureau of Labor Statistics may update the data release schedule early next week. Goldman Sachs also anticipates delays in the release of other important data and believes that once the data freeze period ends, the newly released macroeconomic data may indicate a slowdown in the labor market, an inflation rate higher than the Federal Reserve's target, and positive but not robust economic growth.
