Government Shutdown Postpones Key Economic Data Release
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has scheduled the release of the November 2025 Producer Price Index, alongside delayed October data, for January 14, 2026, after a government shutdown delay.
The pending release of core PPI data could influence cryptocurrency and financial markets, as past PPI findings have impacted asset valuations and monetary policy decisions significantly.
Government shutdowns and funding disruptions have delayed the release of the November 2025 Producer Price Index data, which will now be announced in January 2026. This postponement also affects the October data release.
Stakeholders await the report as the delay continues to generate speculation on inflation trends. Economists and investors remain concerned about potential divergences from prior estimates. Erik Norland, Senior Economist at CME Group, commented, "The expected 3% YoY core PPI figure poses potential implications for market stability but remains to be officially confirmed."
Cryptocurrency Markets Remain Stable Despite Data Delay
Cryptocurrency markets show minimal reaction to the missing data. No changes in Bitcoin or Ethereum have been observed, and major voices within the crypto industry remain silent on this issue.
Past instances of delayed US PPI data, such as during previous shutdowns, often led to heightened market volatility in anticipation of new releases.
As of January 14, 2026, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $94,888.07 with a market capitalization of $1.90 trillion. It holds a market dominance of 58.69% with a 24-hour trading volume of $59.38 billion, reflecting a 19.73% decrease. Over the past 90 days, BTC has seen a 14.47% decline.
Coincu's research team emphasizes that prolonged data delays may push financial markets towards heightened volatility. Historical trends suggest possible deviations in inflation expectations, which could influence regulatory policy and market operations.
