A structured approach to the most market-moving monthly data release across forex, gold, and equities.
CPI releases follow a recognizable volatility structure: an initial directional spike based on the print vs. consensus, a potential reversal if the move overextends, then a continuation or fade based on the broader macro context. Traders who understand this pattern — rather than simply reacting to the headline, can approach the release with a framework rather than a reactive position. This guide covers both the economic mechanism and the practical release-day process.
