Understanding Core Inflation Rate — a simple guide

What it measures

The year-on-year change in consumer prices excluding food and energy, which can jump around because of weather, harvests and oil prices.

How it is calculated

The same method as headline CPI inflation, but the basket excludes food and energy items.

Simple example

If headline inflation is 4% but food prices jumped, core inflation might be only 3%.

▲ When it is high or rising

High core inflation means price rises are broad-based, not just caused by food or fuel.

▼ When it is low or falling

Low core inflation suggests underlying price pressure is mild.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Central banks watch core inflation to judge the underlying trend in prices. If core inflation stays high, interest rates are more likely to stay high too.

How to read it

Compare it with headline inflation: if headline falls because fuel got cheaper but core stays high, price pressure across the economy has not really eased.

What to look at alongside it

Headline inflation, wage growth and the policy rate.

Key terms

Headline inflation
Inflation of the full CPI basket.
Core inflation
Inflation excluding food and energy.
