For January
CPI y/y: 1.9%, pr. 1.3% (Dec), 1.0% (Nov), 0.1% (Oct),
From the Release: "Consumer prices rose 1.9% in the 12 months to January, following a 1.3% increase in December 2009. January's increase was the largest since November 2008. The increase in the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) was due primarily to gasoline prices. In January, gasoline prices were 23.9% higher than they were in January 2009. This follows a 25.6% rise in the 12 months to December 2009. Gasoline prices exerted upward pressure on the CPI for the third consecutive month, as a result of price volatility in the second half of 2008 and the first half of 2009. Prices at the pump have been relatively stable since July 2009."

For December
CPI y/y: 1.3%, forecast 1.6%, pr. 1.0% (Nov), 0.1% (Oct),
From the Release: "Consumer prices rose 1.3% in the 12 months to December, following a 1.0% increase in November. December's increase was the largest since February 2009. The rise in the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) was due primarily to gasoline prices, which exerted upward pressure on the CPI for the second consecutive month. This follows an extended period in which they were the main contributors to year-over-year declines in overall consumer prices." |

For October
CPI y/y: 0.1%, pr. -0.9% (Sep), -0.8% (Aug), -0.9% (Jul),
From the Release: "Consumer prices rose 0.1% in October compared with October 2008, following a 0.9% decline in September. This was the first 12-month increase since May 2009. The rise in the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) was mostly due to less downward pressure from gasoline prices. Gasoline prices in October 2009 were 13.1% below the level in October last year, compared with a 23.0% drop between September 2008 and September 2009."

Prices were flat on the month, which was lower than expected. The importance here is that the Bank of Canada said that they would keep interest rates at a record low of 0.25% through June 2010, unless the inflation outlook changes.

BOC Core CPI y/y: 2.0%, pr. 1.8% (Apr), 2.0% (Mar), 1.9% (Feb),
From the Release: "Consumer prices rose 0.1% in the 12 months to May 2009, down from the 0.4% increase in April. The slowdown in the 12-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) was primarily the result of an 18.3% year-over-year price drop for energy products. Excluding energy, the CPI rose 2.3%. The decline in the energy price index was due more to high prices in 2008 than to recent market developments. On a month-to-month basis, energy prices rose 4.4% from April to May. Of the eight major components, upward pressure on the CPI continued to come primarily from increasing prices for food. While food prices remained strong, the increase has been slowing since March 2009. Excluding food, the CPI fell 1.2% in the 12 months to May. Continued price drops for gasoline and passenger vehicles drove transportation costs 8.2% lower, making this the most significant downward contributor to the CPI in the 12 months to May."

From the Release: "Consumer prices rose 0.4% in the 12 months to April 2009, down from the 1.2% increase in March. While upward pressure on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) came primarily from food, the slowdown was due mainly to price declines for energy and reduced upward pressure from non-energy shelter components. Excluding food, the CPI fell 1.1% in the 12 months to April. Excluding energy, the CPI rose 2.4% over the same period." |
