What is CPI?
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care.
Inflation is the decline of a given currency's purchasing power over time; or, alternatively, a general rise in prices. So CPI is the most widely used measure of inflation.
What happened recently?
U.S. consumer prices overall rose 0.4% in September, pushing the y-o-y gain to 5.4%. CPI increased slightly more than expected in September as food and energy price rises offset declines in used cars .
"Food and energy are more variable, but that's where the problem is," said Bob Doll, chief investment officer at Crossmark Global Investments. " Hopefully, we start solving our supply shortage problem.”
Recently, the International Monetary Fund warned that the Fed and its global peers should be preparing contingency plans should inflation prove persistent. That would mean raising interest rates sooner than expected to control the price gains.

Last time we talked about what CPI is, today we'll talk about its perfect partner——PPI.
1. What is PPI？
The Producer Price Index (PPI) is used to measure commodity prices, which represents the average price of goods purchased by manufacturers.
2. Why PPI is CPI's perfect partner?
In general, PPI measures the average price of upstream market, and CPI represents average price of downstream markets.
When the upstream price increases, the downstream market will receive increased signs, and the price gap between the two markets can be filled with cost-shifting.
For example, if lumber's price increases, the price of wooden stools will increase.
Therefore, investors can use PPI to predict CPI. This is why they are perfect partners.

3. What is the PPI for?
PPI can measure the inflation rate experienced by manufacturers.
If PPI is higher than expected, this means the inflation risk is rising from manufacturers.
The Fed may increase the interest rates based on an increasing PPI, which results in bullish on the U.S. dollar.
