What this release is
The Consumer Price Index is the main US inflation reading, published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is watched for what it implies for interest rates: a hotter-than-expected print tends to lift Treasury yields and lower the odds of rate cuts; a softer one tends to do the reverse.
