The next US CPI report is released on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPI once a month, usually mid-month, covering the previous month's prices. As the most-watched US inflation gauge, a surprise in either direction reprices Fed rate expectations and moves the dollar within seconds of release.
