Market Watch: week of 9 November 2026

One major scheduled release leads the week of 9 November: the US Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here is the official date, what the central bank calendars show, and how to tag your trades around a data day.

Not financial advice. This page is educational information about how to prepare and review trades around scheduled events. It does not tell you what to buy or sell, it does not predict any market move, and trading leveraged products can lose more than you expect. Dates and times come from the official sources linked on the page and can change, so confirm them before you rely on them.

The week beginning Monday 9 November 2026 has one scheduled event that many traders of the dollar, gold and indices follow: the Consumer Price Index release from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the BLS release schedule, the October 2026 CPI is due on Tuesday 10 November at 8:30 a.m. US Eastern time. The official calendars we read for the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan show no rate decision in the same week.

This page lists the event with its official source, explains the time conversion for the week, and ends with a short routine for tagging and reviewing trades taken around a scheduled data release. It does not say what the figures will show or how any market will react, and it contains no trade ideas. Once the release has happened, a short note based on the official text is added to the Daily notes section below.

A week with a single event is a good week to practise preparation. Before Tuesday, write down whether you plan to trade the release, wait for the spread and price to settle, or stay out, and why. After the day, compare the plan with what you did. A rule you wrote in advance is far easier to judge than a decision made with a spread widening in front of you, and the journal entry for that trade is the place to keep both.

The week at a glance

Looking beyond this week, the official sources list no ECB monetary policy meeting in November (the ECB calendar shows a non-monetary meeting on 25 November), the Bank of England on 17 December, the ECB monetary policy meeting on 16 and 17 December, the Fed's December meeting on 8 and 9 December, the Bank of Japan on 17 and 18 December, the next Employment Situation report on Friday 4 December at 8:30 a.m. and the next CPI on Thursday 10 December at 8:30 a.m. according to the BLS schedule. Guides: CPI days, NFP days and ECB, BoE and BoJ days. For the previous week see week of 2 November 2026.

Clocks and time zones this week

There is no clock change this week. The United States moved its clocks back on Sunday 1 November 2026 and Europe and the United Kingdom did so on Sunday 25 October, so New York is five hours behind London and UTC at present.

In practice, the 8:30 a.m. New York release on Tuesday 10 November falls at 13:30 UTC, because New York is on standard time, five hours behind UTC, and at 13:30 in London, which is on GMT. If you built a plan during the weeks when the gap was four hours, adjust it.

MetaTrader 5 stamps trades in the broker's server time, not in yours. Many brokers keep their server clock tied to New York, but brokers differ, so check yours. The server time guide explains how to find the offset, and the session times converter does the conversion for the dates in this week.

US 10-year Treasury yield (published figure)

The US Treasury publishes daily par yield curve rates, including the 10-year. Its page says the rates are based on indicative bid-side quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at or near 3:30 p.m. each trading day. When we checked on 4 November, the latest date shown was Tuesday 3 November, with a 10-year figure of 4.95 per cent. The Monday 2 November figure was 4.91 per cent.

This is a record of a published number, not a view on where yields go next. Daily notes on the CPI day quote the Treasury's figure for that day as published, with a link. If you trade instruments that react to US rates, tag trades near data releases so you can review them later.

The yen and Japan's official releases

The Bank of Japan has no monetary policy meeting in this week: the schedule we checked on 4 November lists the next one on 17 and 18 December 2026. We state no yen price or direction.

The Ministry of Finance publishes foreign exchange intervention operations in monthly and quarterly releases on its own page. We read no amounts into this page, and we have not confirmed the date of the next monthly release. Check the Ministry's page for the newest release.

International meeting dates

This section lists only dates announced on an organiser's own page, such as G7, G20 or OPEC+ meetings. The official OPEC and G20 pages could not be read when last tried (they returned an access error or a page that no longer exists), so we list no international meeting dates this week and do not fill the gap from memory. Check the organisers' own sites if you follow these meetings.

Daily notes

Daily notes for this week start after the event, on Tuesday 10 November 2026. The event day gets a short entry listing what was scheduled and, where an official release is available, what it said, with the source linked. Nothing is added about where markets might go.

How to use this week in your journal

A calendar is only useful if you do something with it. For each event above that touches a pair you trade, decide before the day whether you will trade it, wait for the first moves to settle or stay out, and write that single line in your notes. Afterwards, tag the trades you took near the event so that you can compare them with ordinary trades once you have a few weeks of data. The guides explain the routine for each type of event: FOMC days, ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Japan days, NFP days and CPI days.

AI Trading Journal reads your closed trades from MetaTrader 5 on your Windows PC and saves them in a journal on your computer, with notes, ratings, tags and screenshots for each trade. The P&L calendar shows each day as a coloured tile with its result and trade count, so an event day is easy to find among the rest. The app does not know the event schedule and never places or changes trades. The dates here come from the official sources, and the tags come from you. To turn the event times into your broker's clock, read MT5 server time explained and use the session times converter.
