最新报道:According to Bijie.com, spot gold hit $3,870 per ounce on September 30, up 0.95% on the day. Less than 48 hours before the October 1 deadline for the US government shutdown, Trump met with leaders of both houses of Congress. The two sides failed to make progress on Democratic demands for extending healthcare subsidies and reversing Trump's Medicaid cuts. Vice President Cyril Vance declared the US government "heading toward a shutdown," arguing that if no agreement is reached, hundreds of thousands of government employees will face payroll cuts and the release of key economic data will be hampered. The shutdown will delay the release of key economic indicators (including Friday's monthly non-farm payroll report) and will at least temporarily furlough hundreds of thousands of federal employees, while others will continue to provide essential services without pay. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Monday that it would not release economic data during the potential shutdown. Trump has threatened widespread permanent layoffs of federal employees if the government shutdown continues. If a shutdown occurs, it would be the first U.S. government shutdown since 2018-2019, after a five-week government funding freeze during Trump's first term, including New Year's Day.
