Despite evidence of inflationary pressure in producer prices and import prices, and despite
continued records being set in the prices of crude oil and gasoline at the pump, the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
has been painting a rather sanguine picture of inflation. In fact, according to CPI data over the
first four months of the year, inflation is moderating significantly. This is prompting many consumers
and traders to doubt the efficacy of the CPI in measuring current inflation.
Join Rick Thachuk, commodity trader and former central bank economist, as he puts the
CPI under the microscope to learn:
- What is the CPI saying about inflation and do you believe it.
- Why the CPI ex food and energy is an invalid measure in the current climate.
- An argument for why the CPI may be missing the mark.
- How to properly position yourself as an investor or trader.
This 35-minute video is complete with graphs, numbers, a little bit of mathematics and even a few
trips "to the blackboard" to reinforce the material being presented. Links to additional resources
are also provided. It will not only help to prepare
you as an investor or trader, but it will also give you a firm understanding of the CPI so that
you can form your own opinion.
