? #PCEInflationWatch The Fed’s go-to inflation gauge delivered a mixed but sticky print.

📈 Headline PCE (YoY): +2.7% in August 2025 — up from +2.6% in July (AP News)

⚖️ Core PCE (ex food & energy, YoY): +2.9% — unchanged from last month (AP News)

📆 Month-over-Month:

• Headline: +0.3%

• Core: +0.2% (AP News)

🔍 What This Means for Markets & the Fed

Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, especially in the core measure — a reminder that price pressures are sticky.

The rise in headline PCE may reduce room for aggressive rate cuts, but unchanged core suggests the trend isn’t worsening drastically.

Markets may lean toward at least one more rate cut in 2025 — but it’ll depend heavily on upcoming data (jobs, CPI, consumer spending).

For crypto, stable-to-lower yields and a dovish surprise could create favorable liquidity — but surprise hawkishness could spook risk assets.

📌 Call to Action

Eyes on: upcoming CPI, jobs reports, and FOMC minutes.
