Why Core Inflation (Trim) matters for CAD
The trimmed-mean approach can reveal persistent inflation pressures that are masked by large swings in a handful of categories. The Bank of Canada uses it alongside median and weighted-median measures to triangulate underlying price trends.
How to interpret this series
A trimmed-mean above target over multiple months reinforces the view that inflation is broad-based rather than driven by a few volatile items, supporting a hawkish stance from the Bank of Canada and, in turn, the cad.
