Jinse Finance reported that, according to the American financial website investinglive: Due to the previous government shutdown causing obstacles in data collection for October, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics may choose not to release the month-on-month data for November CPI, and instead focus more on the year-on-year data. Alternatively, they may only provide the subcategory indices for November, allowing market participants to calculate changes based on September data as the benchmark, given the absence of October data.
