Where to check now: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) CPI release for the current month is typically published on the BLS CPI pages and news releases. You can also watch live coverage on financial news sites such as MarketWatch, CNBC, or Bloomberg around the 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time release. Look for the headline “Consumer Price Index" with the month/year in the release title. I recommend starting at the BLS CPI home page and the CPI News Release page for the exact figure and details.

What the key numbers imply:
- Headline CPI shows overall inflation movement; changes month over month and year over year.
- Core CPI excludes food and energy and is often closer to underlying inflation trends; investors watch it for Fed policy signals. If both indices rise faster than expected, markets may price in fewer rate cuts; if they ease, it can boost equities and other risk assets.
-
How it could affect markets today:
- A hotter-than-expected CPI can pressure yields and weigh on equities; a cooler print can lift risk assets including stocks and crypto. Market sentiment around the Federal Reserve’s policy path will be influenced by the CPI surprise or alignment with forecasts.
