Economic Calendar Summary - March 2026

Overview

The week of March 9, 2026, is anticipated to be significant due to key macroeconomic reports and escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East. The ongoing US-Iran conflict has led to a notable increase in oil prices, which have surged over 53% since the conflict began, contributing to heightened inflationary pressures. This resurgence of inflation is a primary concern for the markets.

Key Economic Reports

On Wednesday, March 11, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for February will be released. Although this report will not reflect the latest global developments, market participants are keenly awaiting any indications of rising price pressures that could emerge in the upcoming months.
