Born traders know inflation has been a thorn in the side of the economy since the COVID pandemic. The release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) can have a big impact on interest rates, currencies, commodities and risk appetite in general, making it a classic tradeable event. Traders looking for clues on the market's direction might look no further than the January 13 report covering December's prices. It could be even more pivotal than usual after the government shutdown erased the October data and delayed November's reading, raising the odds that any surprise could hit positioning hard on both sides of the tape.
