Why Inflation MoM matters for USD
Month-on-month CPI provides an early read on whether inflationary pressure is building or easing in real time. The Federal Reserve watches sequential monthly prints closely when deciding whether annual inflation is on a sustained trajectory toward target.
How to interpret this series
A positive monthly print above expectations signals re-acceleration of inflation and is usd-supportive. A negative or flat reading suggests softening and may shift rate-path expectations to the dovish side.

Why use month-on-month CPI instead of year-on-year?
Year-on-year figures contain base effects from the same month the previous year. Month-on-month removes that distortion, making it easier to identify turning points in inflation momentum.
