This is a week for prices: Mexico, Colombia, the United States, Brazil and Argentina report inflation, and Peru’s central bank sets its interest rate on Thursday.
The calendar below comes from a market-data feed and lists consensus forecasts, meaning the average analyst expectation, next to the previous reading. The inflation rows for Mexico, Colombia and the United States show monthly changes, while Brazil and Argentina show annual rates.
Mexico opens the week with consumer prices on Monday. The United States reports inflation on Tuesday, and Brazil and Argentina follow on Thursday.
Three Themes for the Week
Inflation is the main theme, because price data in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia tell investors how long interest rates may stay high. Central banks supply the second theme: Peru decides on Thursday, and Brazil’s central bank minutes on Tuesday show how its policymakers reasoned at their last meeting.
The United States sets the tone for the dollar, with consumer prices on Tuesday, jobless claims on Thursday and producer prices on Friday.

All times UTC, on the twelve-hour clock. Cons. means consensus forecast, the average analyst expectation, and Prior means the previous reading.
Consensus and prior are as published by the data provider; a dash means no forecast was published. Times are UTC.
The Week in Context
Consumer prices matter to investors because they shape what central banks do next. Higher inflation than expected can delay rate cuts and support a currency, while lower inflation tends to do the opposite.
Brazil’s central bank is the Banco Central do Brasil, Mexico’s is Banxico, and Peru’s is the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú. Each publishes minutes or decisions on its own schedule, which is why the dates above differ by country.
What Prediction Markets Say
Polymarket, a prediction-market platform where users trade real money on outcomes, prices Brazil’s 2026 annual inflation most likely at 5.00 to 5.49 per cent, with a 43.2 per cent chance. The 5.50 to 5.99 per cent range trades at 31.6 per cent and 4.50 to 4.99 per cent at 9.6 per cent, on US$212,165 of trading (as of 8 November 2026, 3.01 a.m. ET).
These prices are bets, not polls, and they will move after Brazil’s official inflation figure on Thursday. Why we show this: prediction markets turn real-money bets into a live probability that moves within minutes of the news, which is why investors, campaigns and newsrooms in the United States now follow them closely.
We show them next to polls and official results, never instead of them.
The Bottom Line
For investors in Latin America, Thursday is the day to watch, with Brazilian and Argentine inflation and Peru’s rate decision. Monday’s Mexican prices and Tuesday’s US prices set the mood beforehand.
