**#PCEInflationWatch: Inflation Eases Slightly**

The latest U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report shows inflation cooling slightly in December 2024. Core PCE, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, rose **2.9% year-over-year**, meeting expectations. Month-over-month, prices increased **0.2%**, signaling a slowdown but still above the Fed’s **2% target**.

This data could influence the Fed’s interest rate decisions, with markets speculating on possible rate cuts later in 2025. Stocks and crypto markets reacted positively, expecting lower borrowing costs. However, Fed officials remain cautious about easing too soon.

Will inflation stay under control, or is another surge ahead? Stay tuned!
