The Source for US Inflation Data

Inflation Insights brings nearly two decades of experience forecasting and analyzing US inflation data, with a particular emphasis on the CPI. The CPI is a cornerstone of financial markets, and there is no better guide to understanding it than Omair Sharif, the founder and president of Inflation Insights.

Omair has 18 years of experience on the sell-side, including at Greenwich Capital/RBS Securities, where he began his career. Omair was tasked with spearheading the firm’s coverage of US inflation. His publication, Inflation Watch, was widely read among market participants and his unique bottom-up approach to forecasting and analyzing inflation trends won him a wide audience among inflation market participants. He continued building on his success at Société Générale and later at Millennium Management, where he was part of a team that actively traded inflation.

Throughout his 20 years, Omair has continually strived to better understand and accurately forecast the CPI. His experience and knowledge of the CPI’s methodology have given him a consistent edge in forecasting that is uniquely suited to benefit inflation market participants.

Omair’s views are widely sought out by inflation traders, money managers, and the media. He has been quoted in the WSJ, FT, Bloomberg, Barron’s, New York Times, Washington Post, Reuters, Marketwatch and has appeared on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, Yahoo Finance TV, and the Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast.
