The US Department of Labor (DOL) will terminate the dissemination of lockup data in March 2020.

The following important economic releases will be affected by the change:

• BLS Employment Situation (Non-farm payrolls / NFP)

• BLS Consumer Price Index (CPI)

• BLS Producer Price Index (PPI)

• BLS Employment Cost Index (ECI)

According to the latest press release from February 25th, the implementation will not be finished before March 9th which means that BLS Employment Situation (NFP) will still be disseminated from lockup on March 6th. If there are no more changes to the implementation schedule, the first news release after the change would be BLS Consumer Price Index (CPI) on March 11th. You can find the full release calendar for March here.
