🚨 BREAKING 🚨 US Core PCE inflation declines to 4.6% vs. 4.7% expected
How will the Federal Reserve read the PCE inflation report?to rise 4.6% on a yearly basis in May, slightly stronger than the 4.4% increase recorded in April. The Core PCE Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is expected to hold steady at 4.7% with a monthly increase of 0.4%.
While speaking at a policy panel at the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking this week, Powell reiterated that a strong majority of Fed policymakers expected two or more rate increases this year and said that strong labor market conditions would allow them to continue to tighten the policy.
The market positioning suggests that there is potential for the US Dollar to continue to gather strength on a hot PCE inflation report. Investors will likely pay close attention to the monthly Core PCE Price Index, since it is not distorted by base effects. A reading at or above 0.5% should increase the odds of two more 25 bps Fed rate hikes in the second half of 2023 and provide a boost to the USD. On the other hand, a soft print of 0.
The PCE inflation report is scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, on June 30. Previewing this publication, “the Federal Reserve watches PCE – so financial markets also examine it closely. The higher it goes, the greater the chance for further rate hikes and thus a stronger US Dollar. The Greenback would lose value against its peers on a lower read,” said FXStreet Analyst Yohay Elam.
