According to the latest data, the US Core PCE Price Index for August 2026 (Q3) reported at 130.455, showing a decline from the previous value of 130.658. Although the external market generally expected a month-over-month increase of 0.25% due to the downward revision of the previous value, this data shows that the year-over-year growth rate has dropped to 2.96%, significantly lower than the consensus of 3.3%. This indicates that core inflation pressure is decelerating at an accelerated pace, which helps to alleviate the pressure of monetary policy tightening.
