The Consumer Price Index tracks the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services. Year-over-year percent changes are a common inflation gauge. “Core” CPI excludes food and energy.
CPI prints move rate expectations and risk assets. Reading the release calendar next to the latest FRED/BLS print keeps the desk aligned on timing.
See /markets/macro/cpi for the hub. Morning Brief may cite CPI when OpenBB/FRED returns a verified reading; otherwise the section abstains.
