Key drivers

  • Recent same-variant core PCE monthly index changes imply a roughly 0.315 percent short-run base rate.
  • The BEA exact series page shows year-over-year core PCE inflation at 3.4 percent in May 2026, up from 3.3 percent in April and March.
  • The July target is still two monthly releases ahead of the latest fetched May value, so interval width is increased beyond the four-point realized-volatility estimate.
  • Core PCE excludes direct food and energy price swings, leaving services, rents, medical care, financial services, and core goods as the main drivers.

Resolution

rule
Resolve to the first BEA publication of the seasonally adjusted monthly percent change from the preceding month for the PCE price index excluding food and energy for July 2026, as published in Personal Income and Outlays / NIPA Table 2.8.7 or its linked official BEA release table. Use the first print only; do not revise for later annual, benchmark, or routine revisions. Record in percent growth, matching BEA rounding where the first print is displayed.
