According to the latest data, the US core PCE price index for April 2026 rose to 130.082, with a monthly increase of approximately 0.35% and an annual increase of 3.64%. This data and its trend are significantly higher than the market's previous estimate of a 3.3% annual increase, indicating that inflation in the service sector and certain goods remains highly sticky. With inflation struggling to cool down rapidly, compounded by geopolitical risks, it is expected that the Federal Reserve's (Fed) stance of maintaining high interest rates in the short term will become even firmer.
