Canada CPI Common YoY

The CPI Common is a measure of core inflation in Canada, along with the CPI Median and the CPI Trimmed-Mean, that aims to gauge underlying inflation in the Canadian economy. The index tracks common changes across categories in the CPI basket. It uses a factor model to detect common variations, which helps filter out price movements that might be caused by factors specific to certain components.
