Economic calendar as of November 10, 2026. This reflects conditions at the time of writing and is for informational purposes only, not financial advice.
After a big week for US data, the calendar for November 16–20 shifts to inflation outside the US and to the Federal Reserve’s internal debate. Release times can change, so always confirm on a live economic calendar.
Monday, November 16: Canada CPI (October)
Canada’s inflation report is the main event for USD/CAD. With oil prices falling, traders will watch whether energy inflation is easing and what that means for the Bank of Canada.
Wednesday, November 18: UK CPI and FOMC Minutes
UK CPI (October)
This is the first major UK inflation reading since the Bank of England raised rates to 4% on November 5. A hot number would raise expectations of another hike on December 17 and support the pound. A softer reading could see GBP/USD give back some of its recent gains.
FOMC Minutes (2:00 p.m. ET)
The minutes of the Fed’s October 27–28 meeting, when it held rates at 3.75%–4.00% with two officials voting for a hike. Traders will look for how many members support a December hike and whether a larger half-point move was discussed. Read more: Fed’s Waller backs a December hike.
Eurozone Final HICP (October)
Confirmation of October’s flash estimate, which showed inflation at 4.0%, a three-year high.
Thursday, November 19: Japan CPI (October)
Japanese inflation is key for the Bank of Japan’s December decision. Most economists expect the BoJ to raise its policy rate from 1.25% to 1.5% in December. A strong CPI reading would support that view and could help the yen, with USD/JPY trading near 158.
