Who uses inflation data?

Show/hide

Typical users of this data are:

Market makers

These are financial firms or banks that buy and sell bonds for clients. They use inflation-linked derivatives to protect themselves from losses when they hold bonds whose value changes with inflation.

Corporates

They use inflation-linked derivatives to manage future costs that are tied to inflation, such as employee wages or pension payments. For example, if a company expects to pay higher wages because of inflation, it can use these derivatives to reduce the risk of those costs rising unexpectedly. Typically, these companies benefit when inflation goes up, so they are often “receiving” inflation in these deals.

Inflation-exposed firms

These are companies whose costs, revenues, or financial obligations naturally rise and fall with inflation. These firms (such as utilities, retailers, manufacturers, etc.) use inflation data to manage cost volatility, hedge future expenses, and make more accurate pricing and budgeting decisions. By monitoring real‑time and historical inflation swap levels, fixings, and spreads, they can better forecast inflation trends, protect margins, and ensure stable financial planning.

What challenges does inflation data solve in opaque and fragmented markets?

Show/hide

Transparency in opaque and fragmented markets

Parameta provides executable, brokered pricing across inflation fixings, swaps, spreads and options—enabling reliable price discovery in traditionally opaque and fragmented EUR, GBP and USD inflation markets. This gives market participants a transparent and independent view of where the market is trading, supporting more accurate pricing and decision-making.

Managing seasonality

Parameta captures month-by-month inflation pricing, allowing clients to identify and account for seasonal dislocations. This improves front-end valuation accuracy and enables more precise hedging strategies, particularly around short-dated exposures where seasonality has the greatest impact.

Manage inflation fixing risk

Granular inflation fixing and forecast data provide visibility into expected and realised inflation prints. This allows clients to isolate fixing risk, hedge exposures around monthly CPI releases, and better manage P&L volatility linked to inflation announcements.

Manage index and basis risk

Parameta offers dedicated pricing across key inflation indices—including CPI, RPI and HICP—as well as index spreads such as IOTA. This enables clients to accurately measure and hedge basis risk between different inflation benchmarks, improving portfolio alignment and risk control.

Manage tail and regime risk

Parameta provides comprehensive inflation options pricing, including both positive and negative strikes. This supports the modelling and hedging of tail risks, enabling protection against both deflationary environments and periods of extreme inflation.
