According to TechFlow, on December 5, as reported by JIN10, a key inflation indicator released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday showed that the inflation rate in September was lower than expected. This report, which was delayed due to a government shutdown, further signals a green light for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. The core PCE price index, which excludes the more volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.2% month-over-month and 2.8% year-over-year. While the monthly figure met general expectations, the annual rate was 0.1 percentage points lower than anticipated. In addition, according to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis, overall personal consumption expenditures increased by 0.3% month-over-month, and the annual inflation rate was also 2.8%. Both figures were in line with expectations. Federal Reserve officials use the PCE price index as a primary policy tool for measuring inflation. Although officials consider both the overall and core data, they generally regard the core data as a better indicator for measuring long-term inflation trends. This report was delayed due to the government shutdown.

This month’s growth was mainly concentrated among younger consumer groups. Although views on current conditions changed little, expectations improved—with personal financial expectations rising by 13%, and improvements seen across all age, income, education, and political groups. However, the personal financial expectations index in December was still nearly 12% lower than at the beginning of the year. Labor market expectations improved slightly but remained relatively subdued. Consumers believed some indicators had improved slightly compared to November, but overall sentiment remained generally cautious, and the burden of high prices continued to be a major source of pressure. Looking ahead, one-year inflation expectations fell from 4.5% in November to 4.1% in December, the lowest in 20...
