Summary White House says no inflation data release likely next month
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Friday there likely will not be a release of inflation data next month due to the US government shutdown.
Because of Congress' failure to pass a stopgap funding bill, "Surveyors cannot deploy to the field — depriving us of critical data," the White House said on its official Twitter account. "The economic consequences could be devastating."
