About Consumer Price Index — United States
DEFINITION
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a widely used financial indicator that measures the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by households over time. It is a key tool for tracking inflation and is used by governments, businesses, and individuals to make informed decisions about economic policies, investments, and personal finances. The CPI provides valuable insights into the overall health of the economy and helps to monitor the impact of price changes on consumers' purchasing power.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
This release contributes to the broader macro picture used by cross-asset investors for positioning and risk management. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
