The Bureau of Labor Statistics is slated to publish September inflation data on Friday morning, in spite of a government shutdown that has paralyzed federal reporting and has no end in sight.

The Consumer Price Index for September will be released at precisely 8:30 a.m. ET and will mark the first time a major economic report has been issued since the shutdown began Oct. 1.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones and Bloomberg expect the overall annual inflation rate to rise to 3.1% for the 12 months ending in September.

Month over month, that would be the same stubborn pace that has persisted for more than two years. An inflation rate north of 3% is also significantly higher than the Federal Reserve’s target annual rate of 2%.

9. Don't trust it for one minute.

Folks that can actually use spread sheets and know everything about the data have been fired and replaced with party people who will just make the numbers show whatever krasnov says they are. The truth has never been part of their narrative, it won't start now, I'd bet.

And of course the real numbers will be a lot worst than what is reported. We regular people go to grocery stores and buy foods and purchase goods and services. Everywhere I go the prices have increased.
