<\/span>How to use the CPI<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to make some profit on the publication of the CPI, keep in mind the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Previous CPI<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Forecast CPI<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Price dynamics and market reaction to the CPI previously<\/li>\n\n\n\n
GDP and unemployment rate (comparing to the previous values)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Your money management rules<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Example:
Checking the economic calendar<\/a>, you see that on August 11th, 2021, a package of US financial news was published, including the CPI.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"The$ <\/a>
The CPI published in the economic calendar<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
In the previous reporting period the indicator value amounted to 0.9%, and the forecast new index was 0.5%. This is what happened: the current CPI is 0.5%, exactly as forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the next picture, see the dynamics of the CPI over previous periods.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"CPI$ <\/a>
CPI dynamics in the USA in 2021<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOn the EUR\/USD<\/a> chart below you can see this candlestick very well, it stands out among all others as it is sized over 300 points. Also, before the publication of the news, the quotations decreased volatility, and the market was awaiting. After the publication, when market players saw the result, they started being active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Reaction$ <\/a>
Reaction of EUR\/USD<\/a> on the CPI publication in the USA<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As long as that day the CPI was published alongside other statistics, the whole package influenced the dynamics of EUR\/USD<\/a> significantly, and the quotation rose. The CPI dropped, and this means people started spending less, so the unemployment rate might grow and the GDP might fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the CPI value had been higher than forecast, the currency of country would have grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As long as the CPI is published alongside other indices, market volatility might surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you trade the CPI by fundamental analysis<\/a>, US and Chinese news is the best because European indices do not always influence the quotations significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
