A CPI fixing swap is an agreement to exchange a series of payments referenced to the Consumer Price (or Prices) Index for a fixed rate of interest.
CPI fixing swaps are used to manage CPI inflation risk.
Their current market prices also indicate the swap market's current average expectations about future rates of CPI inflation.
This is a dimension of expectations theory.
