The United States will release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February on March 11, 2026, with economists forecasting a 0.3% increase in the overall index compared to the previous month. Additionally, the expectation for the Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is a 0.2% growth on the same monthly basis.
In the corporate arena, Campbell’s will also present its second fiscal quarter results on March 11. Analysts project a 3% decline in the company’s annual sales, with the gross margin possibly suffering a reduction of more than 200 basis points, attributed to increased tariffs and packaging costs.
UiPath will release fourth-quarter data on the same day, with an expected revenue growth of approximately 9.7%. Investors are closely watching the company’s orchestration platform performance to assess its impact on resuming growth. Additionally, technology companies C3.ai and Netskope will also publish their quarterly results on March 11, 2026.
Fed Speech and Monetary Policy Context
Michelle Bowman, Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve (Fed) for Supervision, will give a presentation on March 11, 2026. The speech takes place amid investors’ expectations for clearer guidance on the trajectory of interest rates.
The latest inflation data from February heighten attention to the behavior of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), considered fundamental in evaluating monetary policy. The CPI release precedes the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for the following week, when important decisions on interest rates will be made.
Thus, the current scenario maintains focus on the continuation or adjustment of the Fed’s interest rate policy, monitoring economic indicators. Analysis of statements from monetary authority members can directly influence financial markets.
