Newest first. Click a month for the whole report and how the majors moved. The move is EUR/USD in pips against the last price before the release: a negative move is a higher dollar. “Against last month” compares the yearly rate with the report before it, not with an expectation.

How the dollar reacts to the CPI
Measured on one-minute candles for the 45 reports since Jan 12, 2023, the same way each time: the price just before the release against the price 1, 5, 15 and 60 minutes after. The median move in EUR/USD in the first 15 minutes was 19.4 pips, and the pair’s range in the first 15 minutes (high to low) was 49.5 pips. In 7 of 45 the direction at 15 minutes was the opposite of the direction at 60.
A hotter CPI is not reliably good for the dollar. When the yearly rate was higher than the month before (17 reports), EUR/USD was lower, a stronger dollar, 15 minutes after in 5; when it was lower (22 reports), in 5. These are small samples, and they set each report against the month before, not against what economists expected, which is what markets trade. This site does not publish those forecasts, so it cannot say whether a report surprised. Past reactions describe what happened; they are not a forecast.
What it means for the next Fed decision
The Fed decides next on Wednesday, December 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. Data like this CPI report is part of what the committee weighs: see the Fed rate forecast for the dots against today’s rate.
The odds from the record for that meeting: hold 62%. They are counted from every Fed decision since 2008 by fixed rules, not from markets and not from this report: how they are made.

US CPI report: questions
What was the latest CPI?
September 2026: consumer prices were up 3.7% a year, up from 3.4% and +0.6% on the month; excluding food and energy (core) 2.6% a year and +0.3% on the month. Source: the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
When is the next CPI release?
Thursday, December 10, 2026 at 8:30 AM EST, for November 2026. After it: Jan 14, 2027, Feb 11, 2027, Mar 11, 2027. Dates are the calendar’s; the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes its own schedule.
What time is the CPI released?
The report comes out at 8:30 am New York time (12:30 PM UTC UTC when the clocks are as on Oct 14, 2026), about a month after the month it covers.
What is core CPI?
Consumer prices excluding food and energy, which swing from month to month. Central banks watch it because it shows the underlying trend.
How does the dollar react to the CPI?
Across the 45 reports measured since Jan 12, 2023, the median move in EUR/USD in the first 15 minutes was 19.4 pips, and the pair’s range in those 15 minutes was 49.5 pips. In 7 of the 45 the direction at 15 minutes was not the direction at 60. Past reactions describe what happened, not what will.
Is a hotter CPI good for the dollar?
Not reliably. Of the 17 reports where the yearly rate was higher than the month before, EUR/USD was lower (the dollar higher) 15 minutes after in 5; of the 22 where it was lower, in 5. That compares with the month before, not with what economists expected, which is what markets trade, and this site does not publish those forecasts.
Where do the figures come from?
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the index, FXStreet economic calendar for the release times and Dukascopy bid candles for the prices, read automatically and never typed by hand. Month-on-month figures are as first published; year-on-year are from the not seasonally adjusted index. Check any figure at bls.gov.
