The last one, on April 10, sent 10-year Treasury yields surging 18 basis points, the biggest one-day move caused by the CPI data since 2002.

The CPI is expected to show slowing in inflation. The core rate — which is seen as the best gauge of underlying pressures, because it excludes volatile food and energy costs — is expected to have risen by 0.3% in April from a month earlier, down from 0.4% in March, according to forecasters surveyed by Bloomberg. The overall index is seen rising by 3.4% from a year earlier, compared with the 3.5% increase in March.
