Potential Delay in U.S. Nonfarm Payroll Data Due to Government Shutdown

According to BlockBeats, the release of the U.S. nonfarm payroll data for September, originally scheduled for October 3, may be postponed due to a government shutdown. The foreign exchange options market has already adjusted its pricing in anticipation of this delay. October 10 and October 17 are considered the most likely dates for the data release if postponed, as demand for options expiring on these dates has increased. October 10 is particularly noteworthy, attracting the highest demand and additional volatility risk premiums. This demand and premium stand out in the current environment of very low exchange rate volatility.
