COST PRICE INDEX

Every month fluctuation in prices paid by American consumers is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) as a weighted average of costs for a sample of products and services that is reflective of total consumption spending in the United States. One of the most well-liked indicators of both deflation and inflation is the CPI. The producer price index (PPI), which tracks changes in the prices paid to American producers of goods and services, has a different survey strategy, pricing sampling, and index weights than the CPI report.
