About Core Consumer Price Index — United States
DEFINITION
The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a widely used economic indicator that measures the change in prices of goods and services purchased by consumers, excluding volatile items such as food and energy. It provides valuable insights into the overall inflationary trends in an economy and is used by policymakers, businesses, and investors to make informed decisions. The Core CPI is considered a more reliable measure of inflation as it excludes the impact of temporary price fluctuations, providing a more accurate picture of long-term price trends.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
This release contributes to the broader macro picture used by cross-asset investors for positioning and risk management. Surprises against consensus can drive short-term moves, particularly when the print breaks an established trend. Released monthly.
