The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.
Wednesday:
The Producer Price Index for October will be published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This data point measures the change in prices that manufacturers receive for their products and services on a monthly basis. With inflation soaring, prices have been elevated for months. Investors are looking for any sign that prices are starting to ease. In August, PPI rose 8.7% year-over-year, marking the smallest such gain since the same time period in 2021. In July, the index jumped 9.8% on an annual basis. Thursday:
The Consumer Price Index for October will be issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This index, closely followed by markets, measures the change in prices for a basket of goods and services. Prices have remained high for months, with the CPI up 8.3% in August on an annual basis. Food, shelter and medical care drove the increase last month. The reading for August was lower on a monthly basis but remains at a 40-year high for the preceding 12-month period. Investors are hoping inflation will begin to ease as the Fed raises rates, but that has yet to happen in a significant way.
