The Current State of Inflation

Recent inflation data reveals that core PCE is currently at 2.8%, exceeding the Federal Reserve's target. Despite this stall in progress, wages have shown nominal growth of around 4.5% to 5%, suggesting that consumers have more disposable income, partially driving the current spending habits. Analysts acknowledge that while improvements have been made from pandemic highs, the final push towards the 2% target may prove challenging. The experts remain hopeful, suggesting that the job market continues to be a crucial factor in determining potential interest rate adjustments.
