The US Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month prints at 12:30 UTC on September 11, and it headlines the session as one of the most closely tracked inflation gauges on the calendar.
What the Core CPI measures
Core CPI tracks the month-over-month change in the price of goods and services bought by consumers, stripping out volatile food and energy items to reveal the underlying inflation trend.
Markets watch it because it feeds directly into expectations for Federal Reserve policy: persistent core inflation shapes the debate around interest-rate settings and the broader path of the US dollar.
The forecast is 0.2%, matching the previous reading of 0.2%. A print in line with, above, or below that figure is what traders parse for signs of whether price pressures are easing or holding firm.
