Description

It is the retail prices index that excludes the volatile energy cost and food items. The Central Bank often uses exactly this index on a mid-term horizon (3-6 months) as inflationary target level inflation in the country. The index calculation unadjusted for the highly volatile components allows for the correct estimation of inflation rate changes for an accounting period.

Effect of market

The index growth or the actual value rise exceeding the forecast is a positive sign for the Canadian Dollar. The significant forecast deviation may have a strong influence on the Canadian currency.
