U.S. Core PCE Inflation Heats Up in June, Adding Another Variable to Fed's September Rate Cut Prospects

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/07/31 13:22:24

BlockBeats News, July 31st: The U.S. inflation data for June slightly exceeded expectations, adding another variable to the Fed's interest rate cut timeline. The Fed-favored core PCE price index rose by 0.3% month-on-month and 2.8% year-on-year, slightly higher than the market's forecast of 0.29% and 2.7%. The overall PCE index, which includes food and energy, rose by 0.3% month-on-month and 2.6% year-on-year, also surpassing market expectations of 0.23% and 2.5%.

This higher-than-expected inflation report has made the Fed's interest rate cut path more complex. Policymakers had previously emphasized the need to see more evidence of inflation consistently returning to the 2% target, and the latest data may delay this process. (FXStreet)

The number of initial jobless claims in the United States was roughly flat last week, raising concerns among economists about potential underlying weakness.
The key inflation indicator in the United States is rising, while consumer spending is nearly stagnant.
