Listen "Investment Term For The Day - Headline Inflation"
Episode Synopsis
Headline inflation is the raw inflation figure reported through the Consumer Price Index that is released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI calculates the cost to purchase a fixed basket of goods to determine how much inflation is occurring in the broad economy. The CPI uses a base year and indexes the current year's prices, according to the base year's values. Headline inflation is often closely related to shifts in the cost of living, which provides useful information to consumers within the marketplace. The headline figure is not adjusted for seasonality or for the often-volatile elements of food and energy prices, which are removed in the core CPI.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/investment-terms--4432332/support.
