Relating commodity prices to underlying inflation: the role of expectations
Davis, J. Scott (2011)
Temporary supply factors may boost some commodity prices?a drought in the Midwest can jolt food costs, or a conflict in the Middle East might propel oil higher. These, in turn, can increase the overall consumer price index (CPI) and the headline inflation rate. ; Because central bank anti-inflation measures sometimes take a long time to affect prices, policymakers don?t necessarily react to short-term fluctuations in headline inflation (an overall rate that?s not seasonally adjusted).

Rising relative prices or inflation: why knowing the difference matters

What are the implications of rising commodity prices for inflation and monetary policy?
Fisher, Jonas D. M.; Evans, Charles L. (2011-05)

Clearly, higher prices of food and energy end up in the broadest measures of consumer price inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Since the mid-1980s, however, sharp increases and decreases in commodity prices have had little, if any, impact on core inflation, the measure that excludes food and energy prices.
