About CPI Eurozone (YoY)
The yearly Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a key inflationary metric released by the European. Department of Statistics Eurostat. It measures the average change in price for a fixed basket of goods and services over a given period of time. Core CPI excludes the pricing of volatile items such as Food and Energy.Core CPI is viewed as the most accurate representation of inflationary pressures facing the Eurozone economy. As a result, it serves as an important resource for the crafting of monetary policy by the European Central Bank (ECB). High readings are often precursors for the tightening of monetary policy, while low numbers encourage a dovish stance toward the Euro.Eurostat bases this estimate on energy prices and 13 euro area member states that report early CPI data. There are 2 versions of this report released about two weeks apart – Flash and Final. The report is extremely early and tends to have a significant impact

On news events, whats the best time to put a trade, estimation prior the report of after the results?
Sometimes it pays off to put a trade before the news releases, but it’s too much of a gamble. So, it’s much safer to open a trade after the news is released and after the initial knee-jerk reaction has ended.
