The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The year-on-year reading is the headline inflation figure watched by central banks.
CPI surprises drive immediate repricing of rate expectations. Higher-than-expected CPI usually boosts the currency (rate hike bets) but can also lift gold as an inflation hedge. Watch core CPI closely.
