The US dollar came under renewed pressure this week as the federal government entered its first shutdown in nearly seven years.
The shutdown, expected to last at least three days, means traders should not expect the September nonfarm payrolls (NFP) report this week. This key release, often one of the most closely watched on the calendar (by traders and the Federal Reserve), will now be delayed until government operations resume.
Other reports likely to be delayed or canceled include:
- Wednesday, 8 October: FOMC Minutes
- Wednesday, 15 October: Core and headline CPI inflation
- Thursday, 16 October: Producer Price Index (PPI)
- Thursday, 16 October: Retail sales
- Friday, 17 October: Housing starts
