Why Core PCE (PCE ex Food & Energy) matters for USD
The Federal Reserve's official 2% inflation target is stated in terms of core PCE. No other data point has a more direct mechanical link to where the Fed sets the Funds rate, making it the highest-impact monthly data release for the usd.
How to interpret this series
Core PCE sustainably above 2% means the Fed is unlikely to cut rates, which is usd-supportive. A convincing move to or below 2% is the pre-condition for easing cycles that historically weaken the usd.
