US CPI Data Set to Shape Investor Expectations in August
The highly anticipated Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July will be released on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET.
This report is closely watched by investors as it provides insight into inflation in the U.S., which can influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's next interest-rate decision.
A higher-than-expected CPI reading could put pressure on stocks and cryptocurrencies, while softer inflation could support risk assets.
