The Consumer Price Index (CPI) y/y is an economic indicator that measures the change in the average prices of a basket of goods and services purchased by households over a 12-month period. The CPI y/y is calculated by comparing the current CPI to the CPI from the same period one year ago.
The CPI y/y is important because it provides insight into inflation trends over a longer time period, allowing policymakers and investors to assess the overall direction of prices. Inflation is a key factor in the economy, as it can impact consumer purchasing power, business profitability, and investment returns. A high level of inflation can lead to economic instability and reduced living standards, while low or negative inflation can cause deflationary pressures and stagnation. Policymakers use the CPI y/y to set monetary policy and achieve their inflation targets. The Federal Reserve, for example, has a target inflation rate of 2% per year, and will adjust its policies, such as interest rates or money supply, in order to maintain this target. Investors also use the CPI y/y to assess the risk and return of various investments, such as bonds and stocks, and to make informed decisions about asset allocation.
