CPI, PPI and Fed Speakers Fill the Week Ahead Calendar

October consumer prices land Tuesday and producer prices land Friday, bookending a holiday-shortened week that also packs several Federal Reserve speakers. Bitcoin heads into it near $75,830, per CoinGecko around midnight ET Saturday.

The stretch follows Friday's jobs report, which showed 165,000 hires in October, and two straight days of U.S. spot bitcoin ETF outflows totaling about $842 million on Nov. 5 and 6, Farside Investors data show. The next FOMC decision is Dec. 8-9, per the Fed's meeting calendar.

The dates

• Monday, Nov. 9: Markets open; Fed releases its daily H.15 selected interest rates and H.10 foreign exchange rates, per the Fed November calendar.
• Tuesday, Nov. 10, 8:30 a.m. ET: October Consumer Price Index and real earnings, per the BLS November schedule. Governor Christopher J. Waller speaks on the economic outlook at 4 a.m. ET in London; Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman has economic-outlook appearances the same day, per the Fed calendar.
• Wednesday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day. U.S. markets are closed; Fed statistical releases scheduled for the day move to Thursday, Nov. 12, the Fed calendar says.
• Friday, Nov. 13, 8:30 a.m. ET: October Producer Price Index, per BLS. Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson speaks at 7 p.m. ET on technology and productivity; Bowman discusses supervision and regulation earlier that day.

How CPI feeds crypto

The Consumer Price Index measures the change in prices paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services. A hotter-than-expected print can lift odds of further Fed rate increases, which often firm the dollar and weigh on non-yielding assets such as bitcoin. A cooler print can do the reverse. Markets price those odds in futures; Black Mint does not forecast the print.

Tuesday's CPI lands at 8:30 a.m. ET. Friday's PPI follows at the same clock. The Dec. 8-9 FOMC is the policy meeting those prints feed.
