Crucial US Economic Reports Due This Week

Investors and policymakers are preparing for a week featuring significant US economic reports. These reports include the January jobs report and the consumer price index (CPI).

The January jobs report is scheduled for Wednesday, and the consumer price index is due on Friday. These reports are scheduled closely together on the calendar following delays caused by a partial government shutdown.

Typically, the jobs report is released on a Friday, with the CPI following the subsequent week.
