Inflation Trends and Impact on Interest Rates

Core PCE inflation in the US has reached 2.8% year over year, exceeding expectations, while a monthly increase of 0.4% signals persistent inflationary pressure. This consistent rise suggests that the Federal Reserve may be less inclined to implement rate cuts in the near future. In contrast, data from Europe indicates differing inflation dynamics, with France holding steady at 0.8% and Spain reporting a drop in its annual CPI to 2.2%. These developments could bolster arguments for interest rate cuts by the European Central Bank as economic conditions vary across the region.
