Just in: The latest reading came in flat versus last month, but analysts are flagging a crucial caveat—the recent government shutdown threw the figures way off. When policy disruptions distort macro data like this, it gets trickier to gauge the real economic pulse. Worth keeping in mind as traders size up the broader backdrop for risk assets.

The government shutdown has messed up the data, and now looking at the economic situation is like blind men touching an elephant.

Damn, the data is flat, but the shutdown has caused chaos. How can we assess the economy like this... Do we have to wait for the government’s tricks to be over before trusting the numbers?

Data is not something to fear when it's stable, but policy disruptions are. This shutdown is really something else; now looking at macro data feels like looking into a mirror.

Bro, this data is no different than having nothing... But the key is that the shutdown is a mess. We went through this crap three years ago, and in the end, it just bounced back, right? Anyway, I’m optimistic. The more chaotic it gets, the better the opportunity to buy low.

The government shutdown is really a data killer. Things that were already unclear are now even more obscured. How should we proceed?
