The Week Ahead (Nov. 9–15, 2026): October CPI, COP31 Opens, Veterans Day, Cisco and CoreWeave Earnings, and MLB Awards
The week ahead for Nov. 9–15, 2026 brings Congress back for its first post-midterm sessions, the October Consumer Price Index on Tuesday, a Veterans Day holiday that closes the bond market but not stocks, the opening of the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, and earnings from Cisco, CoreWeave, Applied Materials and Nebius. In sports, MLB hands out its major awards, the second College Football Playoff rankings arrive and the NFL returns to Munich. This preview lists what is scheduled — it does not predict outcomes.
