PCE inflation index jumps to 5.382% YOY or 0.6% in January
The preferred inflation index used by the Federal Reserve; the core Personal Consumption Expenditures index jumped to its highest value since last summer. The core PCE increased by 0.6% in January when compared to the prior month, taking the year-over-year PCE to 5.382%. Today's PCE report was the result of surging consumer spending after a dramatic decline at the end of last year.
The net result was strong declines in US equities and precious metals and gains in both US treasury yields and the dollar. This raises expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise rates by ¼% for the next three consecutive FOMC meetings. This also raises the expectations by market participants that the terminal fed funds rate will move to a higher target than 5.1%.
