BLS to release September CPI on Oct. 14 at 8:30 a.m. ET

The Bureau of Labor Statistics plans to release the September Consumer Price Index, its monthly inflation gauge, on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. I see this as calendar to watch, not a signal, since the schedule gives timing only. Mortgages, savings rates and markets often react after the numbers land.
