US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) climbed to $22,059.8 billion in April 2026, representing a month-over-month increase of 0.37% (approximately $80.4 billion). However, external market data showed that the core PCE price index rose by 3.3% year-over-year, and Iranian geopolitical factors pushed up oil prices, causing the personal saving rate to plummet to 2.6%. Moving forward, high vigilance is required regarding the risk of a real consumption slowdown caught between high inflation and the Federal Reserve's high interest rates.
