CoinMeta data: The U.S. CPI report for September is scheduled to be released today (October 14th) at 8:30 am ( ET). Economists expect that, due to rising energy prices, the annual inflation rate will rise from 3.4% in August to 3.6%. The core CPI index, which does not include food and energy prices, will be closely watched by investors to assess whether inflation exceeds the impact of energy costs. The market reaction will depend on whether the actual inflation data is higher, lower, or in line with expectations. The U.S. Dollar Index ( DXY ) has risen by about 3.5% in the past month, reaching 102.58, a 18-month high. A strong dollar and higher Treasury yields may put pressure on stocks and other risk assets.
