Is it really a noisy metric? I think not. It's just that this year has been very tumultuous from a supply side. I would wager these are fairly precise measurements of real effects (ignoring the basket of goods issue). I'm not an expert.
- bombcar 4y agoAlmost by definition any "year over year" metric that is taken monthly will be at least somewhat noisy. And if you think about it, reducing "inflation" to a single number will always disguise some things - gas prices adjust multiple times a day if necessary but things like leases only get renegotiated once a year or even longer.
