Consumer Price Index (CPI) Flash Estimate
Definition: The
Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the rate of inflation (price
change) experienced by consumers on a fixed basket of goods and
services. The Flash Estimate is released roughly two weeks prior
to official data from the Eurozone. The CPI Flash Report uses early
inflation data from Eurozone member states.
Additional
Info: Traders use this data to provide
an indication of consumer inflation ahead of the official CPI
Report. However, the Flash Estimate uses much less data than the
full report thus reducing its accuracy.
