Today’s personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s favorite inflation metric, is our economic Christmas present. The November reading on an overall basis fell .1% compared to October and the core PCE increased .1%. Core PCE has increased 1.9% on a six-month annualized basis, below the Fed’s 2% target. The report reveals that the consumer remains intact. Personal spending, on an inflation adjusted basis, increased .3% on a monthly basis.
