Teaser: Starting this Thursday, the U.S. will fill in missing employment data and release a new set of economic data

On November 19th, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Labor declared that the Department intends to make up for the missing weekly initial unemployment claims data by the end of Thursday local time. Spokesperson Ryan Honick stated that due to technical problems, one set of initial data—indicating 232,000 initial unemployment claims for the week ending October 18th—was unexpectedly released ahead of schedule. Honick mentioned that as these missing data points are added retroactively, the Department of Labor will not issue a complementary press release as usual. The missing data will be directly published on the official website of the Department of Labor. The Department of Labor's latest announcement also indicated that it plans to release September's PPI data at 9:30 PM Beijing time on November 25th and publish September's Import and Export Price Indices at 9:30 PM on December 3rd. In addition, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that it will start releasing trader positioning reports this week, with the first report expected to be released early Thursday morning Beijing time. The CFTC will issue up to two reports weekly until January 23rd next year, after which the release schedule will return to normal.
