🚀 U.S. Dollar Declines Ahead of Key Inflation Data Release

According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. dollar has weakened ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data. Emma Wall from Hargreaves Lansdown noted that the core PCE data will be particularly significant before the Federal Reserve's December meeting. If inflation data exceeds expectations, the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged. Conversely, if the data meets or falls below expectations, it could pave the way for another rate cut.#USDollar #InflationData #PCE #FederalReserve #InterestRates #Economy #RateCut #InflationExpectations

🚀 Analyst Highlights Moderate Inflation Trends in Canada
#Canada #inflation #CPI #PCE #economy #FederalReserve #tariff #housingcosts #labormarket #wagepressures
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Capital Markets analyst Ali Jaffery has noted that the year-on-year growth rates for overall inflation and core inflation stand at 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively. According to Jin10, these figures align closely with the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, which is moving towards policymakers' target of 2%. Historically, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) tends to average about 0.5 percentage points higher than the PCE. Today's data indicates that annual inflation pressures remain moderate, as businesses continue to absorb tariff costs, housing costs decline, and a weak labor market suppresses wage pressures.#Canada #inflation #CPI #PCE #economy #FederalReserve #tariff #housingcosts #labormarket #wagepressures

This week, the U.S. stock market will operate for only four days due to a holiday closure on Monday. According to RTHK, the market's attention will be on the minutes from last month's Federal Reserve meeting, along with the latest inflation and GDP data. The Federal Reserve is set to release the minutes of its monetary policy meeting early Thursday morning, UTC+8. Investors are keenly observing the divide between officials advocating for maintaining current rates and those supporting rate cuts. Several officials are also scheduled to speak throughout the week.
On Friday, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, will be released. The market anticipates a slight monthly increase to 0.3% for December, with the annual rate holding steady at 2.8%. Core data is expected to show a modest expansion to 0.3% monthly and 2.9% annually.
The preliminary GDP growth rate for the fourth quarter of last year will also be announced on Friday, with forecasts suggesting a slowdown to 3% from the third quarter's 4.4%. This data may be influenced by the recent U.S. government shutdown.
Additional data releases include December's durable goods orders, building permits, housing starts, and new home sales; January's industrial production and pending home sales index; February's preliminary S&P Global Manufacturing and Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI); and the final University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index.
Furthermore, Walmart is scheduled to report its quarterly earnings on Thursday.#USEconomicData #FedMinutes #StockMarket #FederalReserve #Inflation #GDP #PCE #PersonalConsumptionExpenditure #CoreData #GDPGrowthRate #DurableGoodsOrders #BuildingPermits #HousingStarts #HomeSales #IndustrialProduction #PMI #ConsumerSentiment #WalmartEarnings

🚀 Fed's Preferred Inflation Measure PCE Surpasses CPI by 0.6%
#Fed #PCE #CPI #inflation #interestRates #BiancoResearch #inflationTarget #economy #USFed #PCEvsCPI #inflationMeasure
Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research posted on X, highlights that the PCE inflation measure is now 0.6% above the CPI, nearing a 40-year extreme. This shift suggests the Fed's preferred measure is worsening compared to the public's choice, CPI. Historically, PCE was lower than CPI, except post-recession. The Fed is unlikely to cut rates soon as PCE rises while CPI falls. The question arises if the Fed will abandon its 2% PCE target due to inconvenience, as it did with the University of Michigan inflation expectations when they showed high readings.#Fed #PCE #CPI #inflation #interestRates #BiancoResearch #inflationTarget #economy #USFed #PCEvsCPI #inflationMeasure
