🔍 Key Takeaways

💡 Implications

The slightly higher-than-expected Core PCE suggests that inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. This may lead to a delay in interest rate cuts, with markets now anticipating a potential cut in September rather than July. Investors and traders should monitor upcoming economic indicators, such as the June CPI report due on July 11, for further insights into inflation trends and monetary policy directions. (binance.com)
