🤓 Inside Scoop...

The Consumer Price Index is the main way economists and investors keep track of rising prices, aka inflation. The Labor Department calculates CPI by measuring the average price of a set of goods over time. You might hear about Core CPI, which strips things like food and energy out of the basket because those tend to be more volatile than other items. The Central Bank considers a healthy rate of inflation to be around 2%.
