October 12–16, 2026: US CPI, earnings and risks for gold, euro and Nasdaq

Context before execution

The week of October 12–16, 2026 focuses on US inflation, major bank earnings and further economic signals. Wednesday's US CPI release must be checked against the updated calendar: forecasts can change and are not published outcomes. Treasury yields and the dollar are factors to watch alongside the actual reaction of gold, EUR/USD and NASDAQ 100.

Why the schedule matters

Monday includes Columbus Day in the United States and instruments do not necessarily observe identical trading hours. Bank earnings and economic releases are due across Tuesday, followed by US inflation on Wednesday, more releases on Thursday and industrial figures on Friday. Verify official release times and broker timezone; no event by itself guarantees a price direction.

The Disciply trading method

Build a separate plan for each asset: event relevance, prior range, invalidation level, volatility hypothesis, spread and maximum permitted loss. Avoid FOMO entries before a release. Afterward distinguish the initial spike from subsequent acceptance and review the setup across timeframes. Journal the choice not to trade as carefully as any executed position.
