What is Core Inflation (Median)?
Median CPI takes the middle observation in the cross-section of consumer-price-index components in any month. It is a robust, outlier-resistant trend-inflation measure used by the Cleveland Fed, Bank of Canada, and others.
Why it matters for FX
Median CPI is one of the cleanest measures of underlying inflation persistence — it filters out the noise that dominates standard core measures. Central banks (notably the BoC) cite it directly when assessing whether inflation is structurally easing.
