Key Economic Events to Watch This Week: US CPI, PPI, and Earnings Reports

The crypto market enters the week under pressure, with its global market cap falling by $150 billion to $2.57 trillion. Bitcoin has also dropped to a 12-week low near $73,510. 

With US CPI and PPI reports, along with major company earnings, due this week, investors are watching closely for signs of what could happen next to the markets.

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%. 

Core PPI, which excludes food and energy prices, is forecast to increase 0.3% month over month. The report will show whether price pressures on US producers are easing.

How Could the Crypto Market React?

These reports arrive as crypto sentiment remains weak. Bitcoin has already fallen more than 8% this month and is trading near $74,503. Spot Bitcoin ETFs also recorded $1.282 billion in net outflows last week, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for $1.209 billion.

Meanwhile, Ethereum has dropped 7.5% over the past week to around $2,128. Its spot ETFs saw $365 million in outflows, marking six straight weeks of withdrawals.

XRP has been among the hardest-hit major cryptocurrencies, falling 13% this week, including a 6% drop in a single day to around $1.09.
