Overview

The personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve's favored gauge of inflation, will be announced on Friday, May 26. 

The April PCE inflation report comes at a time when investors are increasingly wondering if the Fed will hike interest rates again in July, after briefly pausing in June.

  • Economists estimate that the headline PCE will edge up to 4.3% year-on-year in April, up from 4.2% in March.
  • Headline PCE inflation is predicted to grow 0.3% month on month, accelerating from 0.1% in March.
  • Core PCE inflation, which excludes energy and food and provides a more accurate picture of the underlying causes of inflation, is predicted to stay stable at 4.6% yearly and 0.3% monthly.
  • The latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes highlighted that "recent data for core PCE goods prices came in above expectations, and the staff judged that supply–demand imbalances in goods markets were easing a bit more slowly than anticipated."
  • Last month, the consumer price index (CPI) inflation rate ticked down from 5% to 4.9% year-on-year. The core CPI inflation also slightly eased from 5.6% to 5.5%.
  • While shelter is the largest component of the CPI index, accounting for one-third of the basket, medical care (20-21%) and housing with energy (17-18%) are the key components of the PCE price index.
  • The dollar is trading at its highest level in over 10 weeks, while the yield on the two-year Treasury note has increased for ten consecutive sessions, returning to mid-March levels.
  • The Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:UUP), a gauge of the dollar index (DXY), is on track to notch its third consecutive week of gains.
  • Investors' expectations for Fed rate rises have risen lately. The market expects a rate rise at the June meeting with a likelihood of little less than 40%, which increases to 66% for the July meeting.
