#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch Today the financial markets are holding their breath — we expect the publication of two key economic indicators: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and unemployment claims. The CPI will show whether the Fed is managing to contain inflation, while labor market data will signal how stable the economy really is.

If inflation remains high, it may force the Fed to keep interest rates elevated for longer. An increase in the number of unemployed could indicate the beginning of a slowdown. Both reports are crucial for traders, investors, and anyone monitoring the economic situation.

Today's figures could impact the markets immediately.
