Economic data
Inflation is the main scheduled data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists the October Consumer Price Index and Real Earnings reports for Tuesday, Nov 10, at 8:30 a.m. ET (5:30 a.m. PT), and the October Producer Price Index for Friday, Nov 13, at 8:30 a.m. ET.
CNBC reported that early estimates averaged by FactSet put October CPI at 3.9% year over year, compared with 3.7% in the prior reading. These are forecasts compiled before the release, not results.
Other releases on CNBC's calendar include final September wholesale inventories on Monday, the NFIB small business index on Tuesday, weekly initial jobless claims on Thursday and October existing home sales on Thursday.
Veterans Day. Wednesday, Nov 11, is a federal holiday. The BLS lists it as a holiday, and the Federal Reserve says its statistical releases scheduled for that day will be published on Thursday, Nov 12. Veterans Day is not on the NYSE's 2026 list of market holidays.
Fed
There is no Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week. The Fed's calendar shows the next meeting on Dec 8-9, which includes a Summary of Economic Projections, and lists the minutes of the Oct 27-28 meeting for Nov 18.
Scheduled Fed appearances include:
- Monday: Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman, a discussion on community banking.
- Thursday: New York Fed President John Williams, a panel appearance listed by CNBC for 6:30 a.m. ET; Governor Michael Barr, a speech titled "Artificial Intelligence and Inequality".
- Friday: Bowman, a discussion on supervision and regulation; Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, a speech on productivity and the economy.
Earnings
Reports on the calendars from CNBC and Yahoo Finance include:
- Monday: Constellation Energy before the open, along with Take-Two Interactive, Occidental Petroleum, KKR, NRG Energy and Skydance, according to CNBC. Yahoo Finance said analysts expect Constellation to report $3.72 per share on revenue of $9.21 billion.
- Tuesday: CoreWeave after the close, where Yahoo Finance cited an analyst estimate of 9 cents per share; TransDigm Group is also on CNBC's list.
- Thursday: Nebius Group before the open; Applied Materials and Cisco after the close. Yahoo Finance said analysts expect Applied Materials to report $4.06 per share on revenue of $10.30 billion, and Cisco $1.32 per share on revenue of $18.11 billion.
Nvidia is scheduled to report fiscal third-quarter results after the close on Nov 17, the following week, according to Yahoo Finance.
Why these matter
The week follows a sharp selloff in chip and AI-related stocks. CNBC described CoreWeave and Applied Materials as tests of demand for AI computing and of chipmakers' investment plans. FactSet's John Butters projected third-quarter earnings growth of 31% for the S&P 500, according to CNBC.
With the December Fed meeting ahead, the CPI and PPI reports are the main scheduled inflation readings before that decision. Earnings dates are set by each company and can move. Consensus figures above are analyst estimates, not reported results.
