The U.S. government shutdown has caused a disruption in official data, and the Federal Reserve (FED) is preparing to further cut interest rates in an information vacuum, leaving both the market and officials in unprecedented uncertainty. (Background: The rise, fall, and escape, the disillusionment history of classical VC in Web3) (Supplementary background: KOLs are all showing income, while I have to show the blood and tears lessons of being a VC for 3 years) Nick Timiraos, who is regarded as the mouthpiece of the Federal Reserve (FED), warned today that the FED's interest rate policy for this year may face changes. Since the federal government shutdown in October 2025, it has also begun to throw financial markets off course. Starting from October 1, budget conflicts forced the government to close, leading to hundreds of thousands of civil servants being furloughed, and official economic statistics have also come to a halt. For the FED, which relies on data to formulate policy, this disruption is not just a procedural obstacle but a direct impact on the interest rate path.
