Confidence & Sentiment

Official business and consumer confidence surveys help frame demand, hiring, investment, and household sentiment before many of those shifts appear in harder activity data. These series are local survey measures rather than a globally standardized score, so the comparison is most useful directionally and relative to each currency's own history.

Inflation & Price Pressures

Headline CPI captures broad consumer prices. Core CPI strips out volatile food and energy to reveal underlying trends. Core PCE (USD only) is the Fed's preferred gauge and tends to run slightly below Core CPI. PPI measures producer input costs and often leads consumer inflation by several months. Persistent divergences between base and quote inflation affect real interest rate differentials and long-run FX fair value via purchasing power parity.
