Get bitesize analysis for the upcoming Consumer Price Index release.
The release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is approaching, and we wanted to reach out to make sure you’re ready for this highly anticipated event.
What to expect from this month’s CPI
Here are a few things to consider when trading this month’s CPI:
- Annual headline inflation could edge up in the data for October to 3.8% compared to the previous 3.7%. The core figure might decline to the same from the previous 4.1%.
- The chance of a single hike by the Fed at its next meeting on 13 December is now less than 10%, that seems unlikely to change unless the upcoming data show a significant uptick in the rate of inflation.
- M30’s ATR for gold around last month’s data peaked at $2.92. Volatility might be similar this time but seems unlikely to be significantly lower. The focus is on how the dollar might move around the news and particularly whether $1,950 remains a possible support.
