According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Labor Office has announced that it will not publish the Producer Price Index (PPI) data for October. Instead, the relevant data will be included in the November PPI report.
✅ What happened: what occurred with the PPI for October?
BLS announced that it will not publish a dedicated report on the PPI for October 2025, due to being unable to collect the relevant reference data for that month because of a budget cut/freezing.
Instead of a separate report, the October data — when it becomes possible to collect it — will be incorporated into the November 2025 report, scheduled for publication on January 14, 2026.
BLS indicates that not all IPP series will be published for October — for example, estimates of “all items” (all-items) and those excluding food & energy (less food & energy) will not be released.

📉 Why it happened: context of the delay
The main reason is a “lapse in appropriations” that affected the BLS and other federal agencies in October. This lack of resources hindered the normal data collection.
Although the government has reopened and agencies have resumed operations, it is not possible to retroactively recover some key data collected through surveys, especially for October.

⚠️ What it means for the markets and monetary policy
The IPP is an important indicator of wholesale inflation — useful for anticipating inflationary pressures that can be passed on to consumers.
With the absence of the October data, an “information gap” is created just at a key moment: the markets and the Federal Reserve (Fed) will have less visibility on the recent evolution of wholesale inflation. This may affect the risk assessment for monetary policy decisions.
Additionally, the absence of that complete month also alters other related reports (some sub-indices of the IPP, consumer inflation indices, labor statistics, etc.), complicating the macroeconomic landscape.
