The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation. US CPI rose to 6.5% year on year, a decline from the previous months.

The CPI has been on a steady decline since the Fed’s decision last year to raise interest rates. The US dollar suffered some losses last Thursday aligned with Treasury yields. Investors’ views are that the Federal Reserve should slow down rate hikes since inflation is slowing down. However, officials of the central bank are pushing for tighter monetary policies to further curb inflation.
