What is PCE Price Index?
The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge. Unlike CPI, PCE uses a chain-weighted basket that updates as consumers substitute between goods, and it covers a broader set of expenditures including healthcare paid by employers and government programs.
Why it matters for FX
Because the Fed targets 2 percent PCE inflation explicitly, PCE (and especially core PCE) is the single most-important inflation print for USD pricing of the Fed path. Surprises in PCE move front-end Treasuries and DXY more than the equivalent CPI surprise once the FOMC cycle is mature.
How to read this page
Watch year-over-year headline and core. Core PCE (ex food and energy) is the cleaner trend signal. Compare to the Fed's 2 percent target and to the CPI print released two weeks earlier.
What to watch for
- Core PCE versus the 2 percent Fed target
- Three-month and six-month annualised core PCE
- Supercore (core services ex housing) for sticky inflation
- Revisions to prior months in the monthly release
- Divergence between PCE and CPI methodologies
