Week ahead: October inflation data and results from energy, tech and insurance companies
Nov 9, 2026
The week of November 9–13, 2026 includes the US consumer price index for October and quarterly results from a number of large US and European companies, with several energy and utility companies among them.
Tuesday, November 10: October inflation report
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is scheduled to publish the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October on Tuesday, November 10, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The report includes:
- headline CPI, which measures the change in prices of a broad basket of goods and services
- core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices
- monthly and annual changes for categories such as housing, transport and energy
Inflation data is among the economic releases followed by the Federal Reserve. The next scheduled Fed meeting is on December 8–9.

Energy and utilities in focus
Several of this week's companies work in electricity generation and networks. Constellation Energy and NRG Energy are US electricity producers and suppliers. In Germany, E.ON focuses mainly on electricity networks, RWE produces electricity from renewable and other sources, and Siemens Energy supplies equipment for power generation, grids and wind energy. Results from these companies can give information about electricity demand, investment in power grids and the cost of energy.
Technology and AI infrastructure
CoreWeave and Nebius Group provide cloud computing capacity used for artificial intelligence, while Applied Materials and Infineon Technologies are part of the semiconductor industry. Cisco Systems supplies networking equipment, software and security products. Their results and outlooks can give information about spending on data centres and technology equipment.
Insurance and financial companies
Allianz and Munich Re are large European insurance groups, and KKR is a global investment firm active in private equity, infrastructure, credit and insurance. Insurers' results are affected by claims, for example from natural catastrophes, and by income from their investment portfolios.
What the CPI is
The Consumer Price Index measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services. The annual change in the CPI is the most widely quoted measure of inflation in the US. Core CPI excludes food and energy, whose prices can move sharply from month to month, and is often used to look at underlying price trends.
Why inflation data is watched
Inflation affects the purchasing power of consumers and the costs of companies. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, set interest rates partly based on inflation. Changes in expectations for interest rates can affect bond yields, currencies and share prices.
How results season can affect indices
Large companies make up a big share of indices such as the S&P 500. Results and outlooks from these companies can therefore affect the index as a whole, as well as ETFs that track it. Index ETFs hold many companies, so the effect of a single company's results is spread across the whole portfolio.
What to watch
Key items include the October CPI figures, company guidance for the fourth quarter and for 2027, comments on electricity demand and data-centre spending, and the effect of energy prices on European companies.
Risks and uncertainties
Economic data and company results can lead to sharp market moves. Scheduled dates can change, and outcomes are uncertain.
