The "core" Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, which strips out food and energy costs and is closely watched by the central bank, rose 0.4% from the prior month during February, above economists expectations for a 0.3% increase. The reading was higher than the 0.3% increase seen in January.

Over the prior year, core prices rose 2.8%, above Wall Street's expectations of 2.7% and higher than the 2.6% seen in January. On a yearly basis, overall PCE increased 2.5%, in line with economists expectations.

"We expect tariffs to slow real spending growth and push up prices in the coming months," Oxford deputy chief US economist Michael Pearce wrote in a note to clients on Friday. "We think that combination will keep the Fed on extended pause, especially with inflation expectations showing increasing signs of becoming unanchored."



Thanks, Donald

Yeah. All the first quarter numbers are going to start to roll in and it’s not going to be pretty. Just because a bunch of guys can’t get laid.

And the markets are tanking some more today. “But the economy..”

Too many books to cook. When people compare their 4Q24 nest eggs with their 1Q25 nest eggs, it’ll be quite noticeable that Trump has not improved Americans’ financial welfare.

Yes. And while overall approval numbers for Trump are still very strong, if you break the data down by issue, even Republicans are not happy with sharp declines on approval for how he is handling the economy and inflation since Jan when data is filtered for conservatives (I was comparing the Economist/Yougov polls from Jan vs. the most recent March release).

Our docile Democratic leaders need to wake up hold him to task for how he is destroying a good economy and making everything worse. Will also note that when looking at the latest poll filtered for Democrats and Moderates, they overwhelming believe the Democratic party is not doing enough to hold Trump accountable.

Plus. Eggs continue to get more expensive. As do most groceries.

Yes! Our cafeteria at work no longer has eggs.
