The Federal Reserve won't see critical information on U.S. inflation or job creation before its next pivotal meeting in December to decide whether to cut interest rates for the third month in a row.
The BLS said it was canceling the release of the October CPI, leaving the Fed without a key piece of inflation data before it next decides on interest rates.
Policymakers at the central bank are at odds over the need to cut interest rates for a third straight meeting, as inflation picks up again and the labor market slows down.
