WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis said on Monday it had canceled the release of the advance gross domestic product estimate for the third quarter because of the recently ended government shutdown.

The advance estimate was originally scheduled for release on October 30. Last week, the BEA said the second estimate of third-quarter GDP and preliminary corporate profits that were due on November 26 would be rescheduled. The BEA publishes advance, second and third estimates for quarterly GDP.
