The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased by 0.2% from November\u2014matching market forecasts and slightly above the previous month\u2019s 0.1% gain.<\/p>\n
Over the past year, core inflation remained at 2.8%, while overall PCE inflation edged up to 2.6% from 2.4% in November.<\/p>\n
This update comes shortly after the Fed opted to pause its rate-cutting cycle following three consecutive reductions. Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that inflation is still “somewhat elevated,” signaling that the central bank is waiting for further data before adjusting its policy stance.<\/p>\n
