๐ US Core PCE โ May Update
In May, the US Core PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) index rose by 0.1%, marking a slowdown in inflation pressures ๐. On a yearly basis, Core PCE increased by 2.6%, slightly easing from April's figure ๐งฎ. This data is closely watched by the Federal Reserve ๐๏ธ as it excludes volatile food and energy prices and reflects the underlying inflation trend ๐.
The slower pace boosts investor hopes for potential interest rate cuts later this year ๐๐ต. Markets responded positively ๐, as lower inflation supports a more dovish Fed outlook. However, policymakers remain cautious ๐, seeking sustained evidence of disinflation before making any moves.
๐ฐ Traders and analysts are now closely monitoring upcoming labor and CPI data to gauge the Fedโs next step ๐ . With the economy showing resilience ๐ช but inflation easing, the path forward could bring market volatility and opportunities ๐๐ผ.
