According to the latest data, the US PCE Goods Price Index for Q2 2026 (April) climbed to 119.798, continuing its upward trend from the previous value of 118.935. The primary driver behind this is the geopolitical tension in the Middle East triggering an energy and supply chain crisis, pushing the overall PCE annual growth rate to soar to 3.8%. The rising inflation is expected to bring greater policy pressure to the Federal Reserve.
