Inflation report Tuesday: what happened to your money the last three times the Fed started raising rates

Three times an inflation report landed right after the Fed started raising rates. What it meant at the kitchen table, in the markets and in a typical retirement account.

● Result added Wed, Nov 11: what really happened, next to the past cases.

383 releases and 124 Treasury auctions since October 2021, and counting. Last added: Producer prices (PPI) (Oct 2026), released Fri, Nov 13, 2026. A new row goes in after every report.

How this is built

  • Each forecast names its poll or survey: Reuters, Dow Jones, Bloomberg or FactSet.
  • Fed rows: the decision, range and dissents come from the Fed's statement. "Expected" is what reports said markets priced in beforehand.
  • Stock moves are the day's closing change for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite.
  • Gold is labeled spot or futures, with the time when reported.
  • CPI and PCE surprises are judged on core month over month when a named forecast exists, otherwise on headline year over year (noted on the row). PPI and retail sales are judged on the headline month over month; GDP on the annualized growth rate.
  • Nvidia rows: revenue and outlook against a named analysts' average (LSEG, Zacks or Bloomberg). Nvidia reports after the close, so the stock, index and gold moves are the next trading day's.
  • "Key figures sourced" means the actual numbers, a named forecast, both index closes and gold are all sourced. Any other figure we couldn't confirm is listed on the row.
  • "Partial" means a key figure couldn't be confirmed, or a source fell short of our standard. We mark them; we never guess.
  • "Developing" means it's release day: the official numbers are in, and the market reaction and closing figures are added as the day goes on.
