Odaily Planet Daily reports that Federal Reserve Governor Mirren reiterated on Wednesday that he expects inflation to decline and reiterated his call for lower interest rates. Mirren said, "I think we need to get monetary policy in place—to get it off the overly tight track, thereby eliminating some of the downside risks to the economy." Mirren expects to return to his position as a White House economic advisor after his term as a Federal Reserve governor ends in January. He voted against a 50-basis-point rate cut at the Fed's two most recent interest rate decision meetings, instead of the 25-basis-point cut ultimately implemented by the Fed. Mirren also warned against interpreting inflation data "on the surface." (Jinshi)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that White House Press Secretary Janet Levitt stated that key economic reports for October may not be released at all due to the government shutdown. Levitt said, "Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system, and the October CPI and (non-farm) jobs reports are very likely to never be released. The release of all these economic data will be permanently damaged, forcing Federal Reserve policymakers to 'fly blind' during this critical period." With the government shutdown lasting more than six weeks, setting a record for the longest shutdown, Wall Street has been closely watching the release of key economic data. Other affected data includes retail sales, import and export figures, and consumer spending and income. Most economists had previously expected all data to eventually be released, albeit with delays. However, Levitt's comments have cast a shadow over that expectation. She added that the shutdown could reduce fourth-quarter economic growth by as much as 2 percentage points. (CNBC)
