What it measures

The average change over time in the prices urban consumers pay for a basket of goods and services. It is the most widely quoted measure of U.S. inflation, and the reference rate for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.

History

This series is moving to its original source (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics); it returns when it is read from there.

Impact on the Treasury curve

High 2.09 bp from the 10-year level

On this indicator’s past release days the Treasury curve moved that much more than it did on a quiet day — a day on which none of the tracked indicators released — across 54 clean release days , with 4 excluded because another tracked release landed the same day. It is a backward-looking measure of what already happened. It is not a forecast of the next release, and it is not advice. Read the full methodology.

No consensus, and why

No consensus shown — we don’t license survey estimates. The “expected” figure on a commercial calendar is a survey of economists sold by a data vendor. It is not a government work, there is no public-domain source for it, and we would rather say so than print an empty column. There are no prediction-market odds here either, for the same licensing reason.
