The U.S. Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) Price Index for May is a key inflation measure closely watched by the Federal Reserve. It excludes food and energy prices due to their volatility and provides a clearer picture of underlying inflation trends.
May 2025 Highlights (example if data is hypothetical):
Core PCE YoY: +2.6% (vs. 2.7% prior)
Core PCE MoM: +0.2% (matching expectations)
Headline PCE YoY: +2.5%
Consumer Spending: Slowed slightly, indicating cooling demand
Market Impact:
A softer Core PCE can ease pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates, potentially supporting equities and bonds. Traders view this data as a critical input for forecasting the Fed’s next move.
