WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday it had canceled the release of October's consumer price report because the recently ended government shutdown had prevented the collection of data. "BLS is unable to retroactively collect these data. For a few indexes, BLS uses nonsurvey data sources instead of survey data to make the index calculations," the BLS said in a statement. "BLS is able to retroactively acquire most of the nonsurvey data for October. Where possible, BLS will publish October 2025 values for these series with the release of November 2025 data." The agency this week also canceled the release of October's employment report for the same reason. (Reporting by Lucia Mutikani and Bhargav Acharya, Editing by Franklin Paul)
