First reaction of Dollar and Bitcoin:
What is Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index? What is the Effect on Price?
Core Personal Consumption expenditures (PCE) determine the rate of inflation experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services other than Food and Energy.
Currency traders observe the Core PCE Price List as the Reserve Bank's preferred consumer inflation indicator.
PCE differs slightly from CPI in that it only identifies services and goods that are consumed and targeted separately. The Nutrient and Energy calculation is roughly 25% of PC Ent, but these can vary greatly from month to month and can distort the whole picture. Like the CPI, it reflects price changes in consumer goods and services. By excluding the variable components, PCE would be a better indicator under the inflationary slope. (investing.com)
