The Fed will also release updated economic projections, including its “dot plot” of forecasts for changes in the Fed funds rate.Beyond the Fed, there’s a smattering of other central-bank meetings set for this week, including the European Central Bank and Swiss National Bank. More rate hike are expected there, too.
Market moves on CPI days have been particularly exaggerated this year.

Intraday volatility in response to CPI data has become particularly severe in recent months. When the September numbers were released on Oct. 13, stocks staged a massive intraday swing, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging nearly 1,500 points from peak to trough, one of the biggest intraday swings for the blue-chip average in recent memory, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
“Market participants may continue to reduce their risk exposure in case consumer prices confirm the picture painted by the PPI indices,” Pissouros added.
