The Consumer Price Index (CPI) gauges the general fluctuation in consumer prices by tracking a diverse selection of goods and services over time. Widely embraced as the primary indicator of inflation, it is closely monitored by policymakers, businesses, and other market participants.

Core CPI captures the variations in the prices of goods and services, but unlike CPI, it excludes those originating from the food and energy sectors. Core CPI helps to determine the influence of increasing prices on consumer income.
