07:53 AM EDT, 10/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The US dollar rose against its major trading partners early Monday to begin a relatively quiet week of economic data releases, with a focus on the minutes of the Sept. 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee meeting being released Wednesday.
The US government shutdown continues to impact the scheduling of government-produced data releases. Another vote is expected Monday.
There are no data releases scheduled on Monday. Kansas City Federal Reserve President Jeffery Schmid is due to speak at 5:00 pm ET.
Tuesday's highlights include weekly Redbook same-store sales, consumer sentiment for October from RealClearMarkets and the New York Federal Reserve's inflation expectations report for September.
Prior to the release of the FOMC minutes, weekly mortgage applications and oil stocks data will be released Wednesday morning.
Thursday's highlights include weekly jobless claims and wholesale inventories data for August, though both could be delayed if the government shutdown continues. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is due to make opening remarks at a bank conference Thursday morning.
The preliminary University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading for October is due to be released Friday, followed by the US Treasury's budget deficit for September assuming that the government is open.
