Core PCE - good news for markets (Patreon)

The latest Core PCE inflation figures for January indicate a stable inflation environment, which is generally positive for markets. Core PCE inflation was reported at 2.6% for the 12-month period, aligning with expectations. However, the headline PCE inflation rate fell to 2.5%, meeting forecasts and marking the first decline since September 2024. This slight easing in inflation can be seen as beneficial for markets as it suggests that inflationary pressures are moderating, potentially bring back interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
