Truflation Launches T-1: The CPI Forecast the Market Has Been Missing

Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes its Consumer Price Index report at 8:30 AM ET. Every month, markets react. Traders scramble, portfolios shift, and everyone rushes to figure out what it means for them — all in the same 30-second window.

That window just got a lot wider.

Today, Truflation launches T-1: a live CPI forecast that goes out 8:30 AM ET sharp, the day before the official BLS print.

Not a prediction range.

Not a directional guess.

A precise, data-driven inflation signal built on over 100 million real-time pricing data points — delivered 24 hours before the number that moves markets.

Why T-1 exists

Truflation was built on a simple but radical premise: inflation data shouldn't be a monthly surprise. Prices change every day. Grocery shelves, gas stations, rent listings, airline fares — the data is out there in real time. We collect it, process it, and turn it into a signal that reflects what's actually happening in the economy right now, not what happened six weeks ago.

T-1 is the natural extension of that. Over three years of forecasts across 2023, 2024, and 2025, Truflation has called the CPI with 99.93% accuracy against the official BLS print. Month after month, in up cycles and down cycles, surprise prints and quiet ones — the signal holds.

What you get

Every month, the day before the BLS release, Truflation publishes the T-1 forecast here. Tomorrow’s number is available today, with the full historical track record of our predictions, so you can judge for yourself.

The BLS releases the April CPI on Tuesday, May 12, at 8:30 AM ET. Our T-1 forecast is already live.

Don't wait.
