Fed's Key Inflation Indicator Hits 2.8%, Dashes Rate Cut Hopes; Traders On Alert
The Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation – the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index – rose more than expected in March, confirming concerning signs of a resurgence in inflationary pressures in the first quarter of the year.
The higher-than-expected PCE report serves as a stark reality check for traders, further postponing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut that had already been dwindling in recent weeks.
