Fed’s Favorite Inflation Indicator Shows No Signs Of Runaway Tariff Costs
Having ticked higher in June, analysts expected headline PCE to be steady at +2.6% YoY in July and Core PCE – The Fed’s favorite indicator – to rise from +2.8% to +2.9% YoY… and the numbers all came in right in line with expectations.
‘As Expected’ is the them of this morning’s data with headline and Core PCE both matching expectations and staying in the same range they have been in for two years… not exactly the Trump Tariff terror future that was predicted…

Real personal spending (adjusted for inflation) rose 2.1% YoY (slower than recent months but still positive)…

Not exactly screaming that the consumer is struggling with the savings rate flat at 4.4% of DPI…
…the lack of inflationary impact from tariffs is ‘transitory‘?
