U.S. Bureau Delays October PPI Release Until January 2026

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a delay in the release of October 2025 Producer Price Index data due to funding issues, rescheduled for January 14, 2026.

The delay heightens uncertainty in economic indicators, impacting Federal Reserve policies and potentially influencing cryptocurrency volatility. No direct on-chain data links to this delay yet.

Economic Data Postponement Amid Funding Shutdown

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced a postponement of the October 2025 Producer Price Index release due to a lapse in federal appropriations. The data for October will now be released in January 2026, alongside November data, per a bureau announcement and economic calendars highlighting the delay.

This disruption in data collection arises from a governmental shutdown, affecting economic assessments and predicting potential ramifications for Federal Reserve policy. The PPI delay implies higher uncertainty concerning inflation expectations, creating a more challenging environment for timely monetary decisions.

“The October and November PPI, or wholesale inflation reports will now be delayed until January 14th…We don’t have very good alternate data when it comes to inflation…So the official data is very important.”
