Of what use is this high-frequency inflation or price data? 

The most common use case for the inflation data is of course to gauge the future direction of interest rates. But there is more to inflation or price data than just interest rates. Because prices for different sets of people move differently based on their consumption or production basket and prices of different categories of goods and services move differently, price data allows us a deeper insight into an economy. It allows us to gauge which parts of the economy might be facing a demand-supply mismatch, and which parts of the economy might be seeing better profitability or growth. It may also hint towards some structural bottlenecks in some sectors of the economy.
