Wall Street is awaiting Friday's CPI report, which could determine whether the Federal Reserve raises interest rates next week. August CPI is expected to rise 0.4% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year, with core inflation forecast at 0.2% monthly and 2.4% annually.
Why it matters — A CVNA watcher would care because the CPI outcome and the Fed's rate decision next week could influence borrowing costs and demand in the rate-sensitive auto sector.
