Fed's Inflation Gauge Shows Slower Price Increases in August

Reported 10 days ago

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, revealed that prices rose only 0.1% in August, below Wall Street's expectation of 0.2%. Over the last year, prices increased 2.7%, aligning with predictions but slightly higher than July's 2.6%. This inflation reading comes after the Fed recently cut interest rates, with officials expressing growing confidence in managing inflation towards their 2% target. Investors are now debating the potential for further interest rate cuts in the upcoming meeting.
