The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET. The report will show how consumer prices changed in July and will give investors a clearer view of inflation in the U.S. The data is closely watched because it can influence expectations for the Federal Reserveâs next interest-rate decision. A higher-than-expected CPI reading could put pressure on stocks and cryptocurrencies, while softer inflation could support risk assets. Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies may see increased price movement around the release as traders react to the latest inflation numbers.
