The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has canceled its Q3 2025 GDP advance estimate due to a prolonged 43-day federal government shutdown. This unprecedented action disrupts the regular release of crucial economic data, leading to uncertainty in the market and potentially increased volatility in cryptocurrencies and equities. The BEA cited lack of data from the shutdown as the reason for canceling the release, originally scheduled for October 30th. This cancellation significantly impacts economists’ forecasts and the financial decision-making process. Market analysts are closely observing how this shutdown will affect asset valuations and anticipate potential market volatility in response to the missing data.
