CAD/JPY trades flat ahead of Canadian CPI data. It hit a low of 106.59 and is currently trading around 107.06.
CPI Month-over-Month (m/m): The consensus is for an increase of 0.10 to -0.4% in January 2025. This reading will inform us of short-term inflation and consumer price behavior.
Median CPI Year-over-Year (y/y): The median CPI is predicted to increase marginally to 2.4% from the previous month. This measure gives an approximation of core inflation by removing volatile items.
Trimmed CPI Year-over-Year (y/y): The trimmed CPI is also likely to rise to 2.6%, which reflects more stable price movements by leaving out extreme price variability.
