Why gold watches CPI
CPI is the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' monthly count of what the same basket of goods and services costs. Inflation shapes what the Fed does with rates, and rates move the dollar and the yield on Treasuries, the two things gold is priced against. A hot print can push gold down within seconds; a soft one can lift it.
