Inflation Rate (CPI)
Inflation Rate (CPI)
About This Event
The inflation rate or Consumer Price Index (CPI) for January will be released.
Previous: 2.9%
Forecast: 2.9%
The inflation rate (CPI) measures the average change in price of a basket of consumer goods and services. Lower than expected inflation is bullish, while higher than expected inflation is bearish.
The annual inflation rate in the US is expected to have eased for a second consecutive month to 2.6% in March 2025, its lowest level since October, down from 2.8% in February, driven in part by a decline in energy prices. However, underlying inflationary pressures likely persisted in categories such as food and core goods. On a monthly basis, the CPI is projected to rise just 0.1%, the smallest increase in eight months, following a 0.2% gain in February. Meanwhile, annual core inflation which excludes volatile food and energy components, is expected to slow to 3.0%, the lowest reading since April 2021, from 3.1% the previous month. In contrast, monthly core CPI is forecast to tick up to 0.3% from 0.2%. Markets will also be watching closely for any early signs of inflationary impact from tariffs already implemented, including a 10% levy on Chinese imports and increased duties on global steel and aluminum. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
