US October CPI Calendar: What Forex and Stock Readers Need to Know
The next CPI release is scheduled for October 14, providing an important input to interest-rate expectations.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's October 2026 economic calendar lists the Consumer Price Index release for Wednesday, October 14 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. This is a scheduled statistical release, not an advance indication of what the report will show. Dates can be revised by the issuing agency.
CPI measures changes in the prices of a basket of consumer goods and services. Market participants often distinguish headline inflation from measures that exclude selected volatile components, because the difference can influence their assessment of persistent price pressure. Traders also compare the actual figure with economists' forecasts and prior readings.
The same data can move several markets through different channels. Higher-than-expected inflation might influence Treasury yields, US dollar pairs and stock valuations, while the reaction depends on positioning and the report's detail. Readers should consult the official release and avoid treating a calendar forecast as a guaranteed outcome.
