Deep dives

Key Economic Indicators and Inflation

January's economic data in the U.S. suggests potential implications for Federal Reserve policy decisions. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, a significant inflation measure, is projected to show a monthly increase of 0.3%, up from 0.1% in December. This uptick indicates persistent inflation, particularly in discretionary services like accommodations and recreational activities, which are driving up the core PCE measure. High inflation is compounded by seasonal factors and rising costs in areas such as shelter and auto insurance, suggesting consumers may continue to feel the pressure on their finances.
