Indicator Digest

Consumer Price Index
CPI is one of the most widely used measure of inflation, as it follows the price changes experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services. This is usually measured by a following an index of a certain "basket of goods", that is made up of the the items needed by a household. "Core" CPI usually excludes volatile items, such as food and energy, in order to get a better sense of price changes without these prices factored in.
