• Investors will get more clarity about inflation, with the Consumer Price Index for September on the agenda. CPI declined on a monthly basis in August and investors are hoping for more of the same in September.

• The Producer Price Index for September is also on tap this week, providing more insight into whether prices are going up, remaining flat or coming down.

Inflation has been persistent throughout 2022, negatively impacting the economy. After this week’s slate of economic data, investors should have a better hold on whether inflation is easing or continuing to spike.

Thursday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be a major focal point. This index tracks how prices change over time and investors will be paying close attention. The same goes for the Producer Price Index (PPI), which is slated for release midweek and measures the prices manufacturers receive for their products and services. The market could react favorably if both index readings decline month-over-month.

Additionally, watch for the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index and the New York Fed’s Survey of Consumer Expectations for September. Both take the pulse of small business owners and consumers in order to evaluate how they feel about the economy and their finances.
