白宫的一个账号在10月24日发帖称，原因是"调查员无法部署到现场——这使我们失去了关键数据。"9 月份的通胀数据在停摆期间发布，低于预期，但顽固地保持在3%左右。 更新的数据发布时间表预计要到政府重新开放几天后才会公布，因为负责监督这些发布工作的官员几乎 都被停薪休假了。悬而未决的问题包括11月份的通胀数据是否也会受到影响。周一早上，一位白宫官员 没有立即回应有关计划以及何时可能重新安排数据发布的问题。 9月和10月的月度就业报告均未发布，普遍的预期是，当政府工作人员重返工作岗位后（最早在本周晚 些时候），首批公布的新数据将是9月份的就业数据。Evercore ISI副董事长古哈（Krishna Guha）周一 在一份报告中预测："第一批劳动力数据——延迟的9月份就业报告——应该在停摆结束后的几天内发 布，尽管10月／11月的数据何时以及如何公布仍不确定。" 华盛顿结束政府停摆的新途径，或许能迅速逆转40天停摆带来的一些经济损失，但政府数据的中断可能 需要更长时间才能恢复正常。市场最密切关注的至少部分信息似乎很可能永远丢失，而一旦联邦工作人 员重返工作岗位，一些关于9月份劳动力市场状况的旧数据可能会很快公布。 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The inflation data in October showed the characteristics of "warming CPI and improving PPI". The CPI turned from negative to positive year-on-year, and the core CPI reached a new high since March 2024. The PPI's year-on-year decline narrowed, and the month-on-month increase was positive for the first time this year, reflecting the resonance of policies to expand domestic demand and the long - holiday effect, with both consumer and industrial product prices improving [1][6] Summary by Related Catalogs 1. 10 - month CPI and PPI Data Overview - In October, the CPI was 0.2% year - on - year (previous value - 0.3%), 0.2% month - on - month (previous value 0.1%); the PPI was - 2.1% year - on - year (previous value - 2.3%), 0.1% month - on - month (previous value 0.0%) [1][6] 2. Structural Highlights behind the Strong Core CPI - The continuous release of policies to expand domestic demand has increased residents' marginal propensity to consume and supported core prices. Under the "trade - in" policy, the prices of household appliances, cultural and entertainment durable goods, and household sundries increased by 2.4% - 5.0%, and the decline of fuel - powered car prices narrowed to 2.3% [2][7] - The "resilience" of service consumption is prominent. In October, service prices increased by 0.8% year - on - year, a major driver of the core CPI. Service consumption demand, represented by tourism and entertainment, continued to be released, and may gradually become a stabilizer for domestic demand growth. During the National Day and Mid - Autumn Festival, hotel accommodation, air ticket, and tourism prices increased by 8.6%, 4.5%, and 2.5% respectively, higher than seasonal levels [2][7] - Affected by international gold prices, domestic gold jewelry prices increased by 50.3% year - on - year, supporting industrial consumer goods prices [2][7] 3. Reasons for the First Positive Month - on - Month PPI in October - Positive aspects: The increase in upstream raw material prices was mainly driven by a 0.1% month - on - month increase in production material prices. The improvement in supply - demand relationships led to price increases in some industries, such as a 1.6% month - on - month increase in the coal mining and washing industry. Some industries, like computers and lithium batteries, saw price increases due to improved supply - demand patterns supported by industrial upgrading policies. International price increases in non - ferrous metals were transmitted to the domestic market, driving a 2.4% month - on - month increase in the non - ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry [3][8] - Areas to improve: The month - on - month price of consumer goods was flat, and the year - on - year price still decreased by 1.4%, indicating that the recovery of terminal consumer demand lagged behind that of the upstream. The positive month - on - month increase in upstream raw material prices but slow recovery of downstream demand may squeeze the profit margins of mid - and downstream enterprises [3][8] 4. Implications of the Widening CPI - PPI Gap - In October, the CPI was 0.2% year - on - year, the PPI was - 2.1% year - on - year, and the gap was 2.3 percentage points, 0.3 percentage points wider than in September [4][9] - The year - on - year increase in CPI was mainly driven by service consumption and some industrial consumer goods, but this demand was not enough to fully absorb the industrial supply capacity, and industrial product prices were still in the negative range year - on - year. The widening gap means that the gross profit margins of mid - and downstream industries in the industrial chain, such as food processing, home appliances, and automobiles, are expected to improve [4][9]

Sector-Specific Insights - In specific sectors: - Upstream coal and non-ferrous metals experienced significant month-on-month increases [18]. - Midstream fuel processing and chemical industries faced declines, influenced by oil prices [18]. - Downstream automotive manufacturing showed a narrowing decline, while agricultural processing expanded its negative growth [18][19]. - Cement prices increased significantly due to policy-driven financial tools and the implementation of the revised Anti-Unfair Competition Law [21]. Future Price Trends - Looking ahead, pork prices are expected to stabilize, which may lead to a continued rebound in CPI year-on-year [21]. - The PPI base is slightly higher, with global pricing products presenting uncertainties; however, the cement price trend suggests a potential floor for construction product prices [21]. - Overall, the deflation index is anticipated to continue rising in the coming months, reflecting supply-demand dynamics that influence corporate profit margins and performance [21][4].

Core Insights - The U.S. government is experiencing a prolonged shutdown, leading to a halt in the release of key economic data, which complicates the Federal Reserve's decision-making process for the upcoming December meeting [2][3] - The Labor Statistics Bureau has postponed the release of the October CPI report, raising concerns that it may not be published at all, further complicating discussions on interest rate decisions [2][3] - The absence of official data may provide a rationale for policymakers concerned about inflation to maintain interest rates in December, despite market expectations leaning towards a rate cut [2][3] Data Vacuum and Decision-Making Challenges - The current situation poses significant challenges for the Federal Reserve, which relies on data for decision-making; the lack of recent employment and inflation data undermines the foundation for policy decisions [3] - Fed Chair Powell indicated that a rate cut in December is not guaranteed, and the absence of official data may strengthen the position of those focused on inflation risks [3][4] Alternative Indicators - In the absence of official data, some private sector employment reports are helping to fill the gaps, but alternative inflation indicators are harder to obtain and less comprehensive [4] - The Cleveland Fed's "nowcast" model suggests that the October CPI year-on-year increase may be similar to September's lower-than-expected 3% [4] Impact of Government Shutdown - The timing of the government shutdown's resolution will be crucial for the Fed's December decision, as it will determine how quickly economic data can be updated [5][6] - Various scenarios have been proposed regarding the potential impact of data recovery on policy decisions, ranging from receiving outdated reports to having multiple recent employment reports available before the December meeting [6] Scenarios for Employment Reports - Scenario one involves receiving an outdated September employment report, which is unlikely to influence a rate cut decision [6] - Scenario two considers the release of both September and October reports, which could complicate the decision if the unemployment rate remains stable [6] - Scenario three anticipates the release of three complete employment reports, where the unemployment rate will significantly influence the Fed's decision on whether to maintain or cut rates [6]
