U.S. Economic Data to Trickle In Gradually as Government Reopens

U.S. economy-watchers can hope to regain access to key data after President Donald Trump agreed to reopen the government, though the delayed releases will probably come in fits and starts over several weeks.

Reports on gross domestic product, consumer spending, housing and trade -- among the ones postponed or that are still likely to be delayed -- may start trickling in, as the Commerce Department restarts the process of collecting, analyzing and releasing the figures over the next month or so, based on what happened following previous shutdowns.
