CPI Inflation in Focus as Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Futures Stall After Fed Drama

On January 13, 2026, the U.S. government will release the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) Inflation data. This measure shows how fast prices are rising in the economy and is watched closely by investors and traders. The CPI report now matters more than ever because stock futures for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq have stalled. Traders are unsure which way markets will go next.
