In the first quarter of 2026, the US Goods Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index climbed to 117.528, accelerating significantly from 115.996 in the previous quarter and hitting a new swing high. This data echoes market concerns over the Q1 overall annualized PCE quarterly rate reaching 4.5%, far exceeding expectations, primarily driven by rising energy and imported goods costs. As inflation stickiness emerges, the market will likely reassess the future monetary policy path of the Federal Reserve.
