Nickileaks Predicted Todays PCE Report

The Bureau of Economic Analysis gave their PCE )Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index) report and it came in better than expectations. However, the financial markets had mostly been expecting a report with no inflation. The Bond and stock market are already been pricing in a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in March 2024.

Inflation in the US, as measured by the change in Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, came in better than the overall market expectation. The monthly PCE was 0.1% (actual exact measurement was 0.07%). The annual deflator was 2.6% vs 2.8%. monthly deflator -0.1%. Durable goods 5.4% vs 2.3% which is good for consumer spending. The report also further reduced prior revisions. They revised the prior month annual deflator from 3.0% to 2.9%. The only strength was in anti-recession components.

The core PCE price index rose 3.2% in November from a year earlier.

The November PCE price index is likely to show core inflation was very mild (between 0.0% and 0.1%, even though consensus is 0.2%), according to the forecasters who calculate this most carefully

That would lower 12-month core PCE inflation to 3.1% and 6-month annualized, to 1.9% https://t.co/tbufAyfWo1 pic.twitter.com/trLXFK2ax7
