Impact of this data: Consumer Price Index (CPI): considered a key measure of inflation from the consumer's perspective. Its rise can affect expectations for interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, potentially strengthening the dollar and increasing Treasury yields.

Initial jobless claims: an early indicator of employment trends. A rise in claims indicates a weak labor market, while a decline indicates strength in the labor market.

Publication date: CPI and initial jobless claims data for March will be released on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (12:30 PM GMT).

Important notes: Initial jobless claims data is more recent than the CPI data and reflects conditions up to April 5.
