US October Jobs and CPI May Never Be Published, White House Warns as Shutdown Disrupts Data Pipeline

The White House said Wednesday that the October US jobs report and consumer price index are unlikely to be released, marking an unprecedented disruption to America’s economic data system as the government shutdown continues. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that key statistical agencies — including the Bureau of Labor Statistics — halted data collection and publication when the shutdown began, leaving policymakers without crucial indicators needed to assess the economy’s momentum. While some datasets could be reconstructed retroactively, economists have cautioned that the CPI and unemployment rate are among the releases most at risk of being skipped entirely. The BLS has not issued an updated calendar or indicated whether missing releases might be combined into future reports. In previous shutdowns, the agency has restored operations quickly, but officials now face the challenge of incomplete surveys that cannot be reproduced after the fact. Leavitt said Democrats “may have p...

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席，或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道，美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 （Paul Atkins）接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会（SEC）主席 加里·根斯勒 （Gary Gensler）。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名，这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 ： 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规，力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 ： 离开SEC后，阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ，一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新，同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 ： 马克·乌耶达 （Mark Uyeda）：现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 （Heath Tarbert）：前商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 （Robert Stebbins）：Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议，被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致，即在保障市场完整性的同时，通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么？ SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任，这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式，为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。

EU Seeks Assurances from US Over AT1 Bond Wipeouts in Future Bank Failures

Europe’s top bank resolution official is seeking clarity from the United States to ensure that  US regulators will not obstruct write-downs of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds  during future bank failures, a crucial mechanism used to safeguard financial stability. Background: Lessons from Credit Suisse Dominique Laboureix, chair of the  Single Resolution Board (SRB) , said in an interview that the issue has been raised at the  Financial Stability Board (FSB) , where a working group is “seriously” addressing potential cross-border obstacles. The move follows lingering uncertainty since the  2023 collapse of Credit Suisse , where  AT1 bondholders were fully wiped out  to facilitate the bank’s rescue. With the  Trump administration’s reorientation of US regulatory priorities , European officials are now seeking renewed assurance that Washington will continue to uphold global resolution standards. “You cannot achieve 100% comfort all around the globe wit...
