The Financial Summit’s official channel recently posted a detailed Twitter thread on CPI. Pointing to the historical data of the U.S. CPI, the organization stated that if the CPI was stronger than forecasted, the US dollar would get a boost. However, on the flip side, if the reading was weaker than expected, there could be some pressure on the dollar.

For context, the CPI or the consumer price index is the average overtime in prices paid by consumers for goods and services. If this measure is considerably higher than the estimate predicted by economic analysts, this could mean that the prices of goods and services have increased more than expected, which means higher inflation.
The summit’s account added that a glance at CPI trends from April 2021 to September 2022 revealed a sharp upward trajectory, followed by a decline thereafter. “This can be the 19th straight month with a lower than previous reading,” said the collective.
The U.S. CPI data will be revealed on August 10. According to the summit, all eyes will be on the forecasted 3.3% figure. They also divulged that a noticeable trend has emerged over the past few months — inflation rates are gradually decreasing each month. The organization also revealed its economic forecast: Deflation could be on the horizon for the U.S. economy because of the M2 money supply, which is increasing.
