What it measures

This measure shows the year-over-year change in the Fed's preferred US inflation gauge, excluding food and energy. The Fed aims for 2% inflation over time; markets compare the result with forecasts and the monthly core trend.

Why it moves the USD

Higher core PCE can support the dollar if it means rates stay restrictive for longer; lower readings can weaken it by opening the door to cuts. It is an important release, though the monthly rate can give a clearer view of current momentum.
