Description

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a fixed market basket of consumer goods and services. It's a key economic indicator used to track inflation and deflation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calculates the CPI using a weighted average of prices for a representative basket of goods and services.
