[Goldman Sachs Expects U.S. October Employment Data to Be Released Early Next Week] Goldman Sachs economists Elsie Peng and Ronnie Walker noted in a report that the U.S. federal government shutdown has delayed the release of nearly all federal economic data for September and October. Assuming the government resumes operations by the end of this weekend, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to release the October employment data early next week (Tuesday or Wednesday). However, the release of other major economic data is expected to be delayed, including the November employment report and the inflation report, which may be 'delayed by at least a week.'
