What happened
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday, November 10, at 8:30 a.m. New York time (13:30 UTC). The Producer Price Index (PPI) follows on Friday, November 13, at the same time. In September, CPI rose 0.6% on the month and 3.7% on the year. PPI rose 1.3% on the month and 6.3% on the year.
Why it matters to you
Inflation drives what the Fed does with rates. Hot numbers usually weigh on stocks, bonds and bitcoin, soft ones help them. September's PPI jump was the biggest since December 2022, so markets will look for signs those costs reached shop prices. This is our view.
What to check and watch
Watch core CPI, without food and energy (2.6% on the year in September), and what Fed speakers say this week. This is an overview, not advice.
Where it’s happening
LIVEDrag to spin. Green dots: the exchange is trading right now (regular hours, holidays not counted). Shadow: where it is night now. Borders: Natural Earth, quakes: USGS. Layer idea: God’s Eye View (MIT).
What is coming. On November 10 at 8:30 a.m. US Eastern time (13:30 UTC), BLS releases October CPI. On November 13 at 8:30 a.m. (13:30 UTC), October PPI is out. Both dates are on the official BLS schedule.
What happened last time. In September, CPI rose 0.6% after 0.4% in August. Over 12 months, prices rose 3.7%. Core CPI, without food and energy, rose 0.3% on the month and 2.6% on the year. Producer prices rose 1.3% in September and 6.3% over 12 months. That is the largest yearly rise since December 2022, when it was 6.4%.
Who is speaking. The MarketWatch calendar lists at least seven Fed officials this week: Tom Barkin, Jeff Schmid, Vice Chair Michelle Bowman, Anna Paulson, Beth Hammack, John Williams and Mary Daly. Markets read their words after the inflation data as hints about the next rate move.
Why it matters. The next Fed rate decision is due on December 9. If CPI shows fast price growth again, rates likely stay high for longer. That usually lifts the dollar and weighs on risk assets. If growth slows, the reverse. This is our view, not a forecast of the numbers.
