October 1, 2013
The publishing of government data may be at immediate risk from a Washington shutdown, but private data will continue to flow. The ISM manufacturing report is an especially prominent private report with the day's other private data to include the PMI manufacturing index, the ICSC-Goldman and Redbook reports on retail sales, as well as the Gallop ECI and motor vehicle sales.
As of just after midnight ET, a partial shutdown of federal government nonessential operations began due to non-enactment of a budget for the fiscal year starting October 1. The OMB (Office of Management and Budget) ordered an orderly shutdown of non-essential government offices at 11:59 p.m. Monday ET. Some employees are expected to show up for a few hours Tuesday but mainly to shut down systems. It is expected that the Commerce Department will not be releasing data for construction outlays as previously scheduled. And the Labor Department may not release the employment report on Friday if the shutdown continues. This link will be updated as further information becomes available.
