About this series
The consumer price index measures the average price level of a basket of goods and services. The inflation rate is the percentage change in the index, usually over twelve months. Index levels are published monthly (quarterly for Australia) with a lag of a few weeks; older values are occasionally revised.
Using CPI on MarketsGrid
MarketsGrid uses the not-seasonally-adjusted all-items index to adjust historical prices for inflation, e.g. to show what an ounce of gold cost in today's money. Each country's index has its own base year, so levels are not comparable across countries; rates of change are.
