Here's something interesting from the economic data front. Word is that October's CPI and employment numbers might actually see the light of day, even with all the government shutdown chaos happening.

Citi's economics team is saying these reports could still drop, though there's a catch—they might not be as rock-solid as we're used to. The issue? When agencies scramble to fill data gaps, they're probably going to lean heavily on retrospective surveys and estimates to patch things together.

What does that mean for us? Well, the numbers will be there, but take them with a grain of salt. The usual precision might be compromised. And from what Citi's hinting at, they're leaning toward softer readings anyway.

For anyone trading or making moves based on macro trends, this is worth keeping on your radar. Data quality matters, especially when markets are this sensitive to every inflation tick and jobs print.
