Key Events to Watch this Week
10 November: U.S. CPI and CoreWeave Earnings
The first major event arrives on Tuesday, when the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release its October CPI report on November 10, 2026
Economists forecast annual headline inflation at 3.6%, slightly below the previous 3.7%, while monthly inflation could slow to 0.3%–0.4%, down from 0.6% in September. Core inflation is expected to stay steady at 0.3% monthly and 2.6%–2.7% annually.
A hotter-than-expected reading could strengthen the U.S. dollar and reduce hopes for easier monetary policy, putting additional pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets.
The same day, CoreWeave (CRWV) is set to report its third-quarter 2026 results. The company is expected to report around $3.54 billion in revenue, up roughly 159% from the same period last year. This is within its earlier guidance of $3.45 billion to $3.60 billion.
However, Wall Street expects another quarterly loss of $1.16 to $1.53 per share, while options markets are pricing in a potential 21% move in the stock.
12 November: Initial Jobless Claims
Thursday brings another important signal for the Fed through initial jobless claims. Markets expect around 195,000 new claims, following last week’s surprisingly low 189,000 reading.
A strong labor market gives the Fed more room to keep rates higher for longer. Markets are already pricing in an 81% probability of a 25-basis-point rate increase at the December 9 meeting.
Meanwhile, Cisco and Applied Materials will report earnings after the market closes. Cisco is expected to post $18.12 billion in revenue, while Applied Materials is forecast to report $10.3 billion. The latter enters earnings after a sharp semiconductor sell-off.
13 November: U.S. PPI Report
The week will end with the US Producer Price Index (PPI) report for October, due on Friday, November 13, 2026. Economists expect monthly producer prices to rise 0.4%, slowing sharply from September’s 1.3% increase. However, annual PPI is expected to climb to 6.6%.
