The U.S. core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index for March 2025 saw a year-over-year decline of 2.6%, marking its lowest point since June 2024, according to the latest data release. This result aligns with expectations among analysts and suggests continued progress in tackling inflation. ⬇️ The decrease from February’s 3.0% core PCE indicates a positive trend towards easing inflationary pressures. The U.S. headline PCE also rose by 2.3%, slightly above forecasts, yet less than February’s 2.7%. Experts are closely watching these numbers for potential shifts in Federal Reserve policy. A decline in core PCE closer to the 2% target could potentially lead to interest rate adjustments in 2025, impacting sectors like cryptocurrencies and broader markets.
