To start with, PCE is the personal consumption expenditure that measures the changes in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers for the purpose of consumption, excluding food & energy. It is one of the personal income reports and outlays, personal income includes income from wages & salaries.

The PCE will be announced on December 23rd, 2022. It is true that CPI and interest rate are the indicators that measure inflation, however; the fed relies also on PCE data, the difference between CPI and PCE is that PCE measures the change in goods and services consumed by all households & non-profit organizations, while the CPI measures the change in all expenditures for all urban households.

On December 1st, the Core PCE came out to be 0.2% down from 0.5% previously and a forecast of 0.3% for the MoM. It was bearish for the USD, and a sharp decline in the Dollar Index was monitored down by 60 cents, for the gold it went up after the indicator by 20$.

In tomorrow’s result, if the Core PCE came higher as expected it will come bullish for the USD, and Dollar Index will further increase. If the results came lower than expected, it will go bearish for the USD, and the dollar index will see a decrease in prices.
