Crude oil a leading inflation indicatorTwo observation made the last two years between crude oil and CPI:
1) There were 5 waves up and
2) 3 significant peaks
However, between the last 2 peaks of crude, it was a lower low follow-by its downtrend, and CPI followed this downtrend subsequently.
Among many commodities, crude oil moves the most in tandem with CPI, but crude seems to lead in this study.
Refer to the daily chart on your own, try drawing a downtrend line, you will see crude oil prices has broken above its downtrend line recently. If crude oil is going to transit to an uptrend from here, we will have to track CPI very closely. The inflation fear is still there.

Inflation Report: 11 Jan 2023Finally there is a sense of relief.
The US inflation is just on a some-what downward spiral.
It's almost as if we peaked at a whopping 9.1% and now dropping to around 6%.
And let's not forget all our friends abroad, like Germany where it's dropped from 10. 4 in October down to 8.6%,
UK dropping from 11.1% slightly down to 10.7%,
Canada's 8.1 dropped to 6.8%,
France's steady 6.2%,
and China's decent1.6%.
And let's not forget our lekker country, South Africa where inflation has also dropped from 7.8% down to 7.4%.
It's just too bad all these numbers are due to supply chain issues, war, and food shortages.
But it looks like we have potentially seen the end of The Great Inflation - and now things should start to settle.

Interest rate up to at least 6.5% in 2023, why?The Fed chairman has given the market a very important clue on 13 Dec 22.
At what level will he consider an interest rate cut?
He said “I wouldn't see us considering rate cuts until the committee is confident that inflation is moving down to 2% in a sustained way,” meaning only if CPI is heading nearing 2% then it is hopeful to see a rate cut.
Market consensus for CPI to range between 5% to 8..9% for this year. If this is true, the Fed is likely to continue to hike the rate moderately at 0.25% in each meeting just to bring inflation down.
I am seeing this as the best case scenario.
