📊 Binance Market Watch: PCE Inflation Update – June 2025:

The U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, has shown signs of moderation. In March, the annual core PCE inflation rate decreased to 2.6%, down from 2.8% in February, marking its lowest level in five months. This slowdown is attributed to a combination of factors, including a decline in energy prices and a deceleration in services inflation. (Trading Economics , Trading Economics)

Despite this easing, the Federal Reserve remains vigilant. Minutes from the May FOMC meeting revealed concerns over potential stagflation, with policymakers noting that recent tariff increases could lead to higher prices without corresponding economic growth. Consequently, the Fed has indicated that interest rates are likely to remain steady through the summer. (WSJ)

Market reactions to the PCE data have been relatively muted. Inflation swaps, a key measure of future inflation expectations, have shown little movement since the April tariff announcements. This suggests that investors are not anticipating a prolonged inflationary period. (MarketWatch)
