Inflation measures rising prices, but did you know there are two key indexes? • CPI (Consumer Price Index): Tracks price changes for goods and services that consumers buy—think groceries, gas, and rent. • PPI (Producer Price Index): Measures price changes at the wholesale level—what businesses pay for raw materials and goods before they reach consumers.If PPI rises, CPI often follows, meaning higher costs for consumers. Traders watch these metrics to anticipate central bank moves on interest rates. #firstdealofthenewyearastylz
