About Core PCE Prices MoM — United States
DEFINITION
Core PCE prices MoM is a widely used financial indicator that measures the change in the prices of goods and services, excluding volatile food and energy prices, on a month-over-month basis. It is considered a key measure of inflation and is closely monitored by economists and investors to assess the health of the economy. This indicator provides valuable insights into the overall trend of consumer spending and can impact monetary policy decisions made by central banks.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Dec 2013): actual 0.1 %, consensus 0.1 %. Prior reading (Dec 2013): 0.1 %. Before that (Nov 2013): 0.1 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially lower reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary headwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with S&P 500 (Bullish Stocks, r=0.50) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
