About महागाई दर (CPI/HICP) (GBP)

United Kingdom's headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the monthly change in the price level of a representative basket of consumer goods and services. It is the primary inflation measure monitored by the Bank of England.

Why FX traders watch it

Central banks, including the Bank of England, set policy rates in response to inflation. An above-target CPI print increases the probability of a rate hike, which is typically gbp-positive, while below-target inflation raises rate-cut odds and can weaken the currency.

How to interpret the data

An inflation reading above consensus or above the Bank of England's target band is hawkish and supports the gbp. A downside surprise is dovish and tends to weigh on the currency, particularly when inflation has been trending lower for several months.

How is headline CPI different from core CPI?
Headline CPI includes all items, notably food and energy, which are volatile. Core CPI strips these out to give a cleaner read of underlying price pressure.
