#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures inflation by tracking changes in the prices of goods and services. A rising CPI indicates increasing inflation. Jobless claims represent the number of individuals filing for unemployment benefits, reflecting labor market conditions. Higher jobless claims may signal economic weakness, while lower claims suggest job growth. Together, CPI and jobless claims provide key insights into economic health, influencing monetary policy, interest rates, and financial market movements.
