US monthly data pack for February, including PCE inflation data, was released today at 12:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show no change in headline as well as core PCE on an annual basis.

Actual data turned out to be mostly in-line with expectations. However, headline PCE acelerated unexpectedly. Personal income data missed expectations while personal spending data beat expectations. A beat in headline PCE seems to be driving market reaction as response can be seen as dovish. USD dropped, pushing EURUSD to retest daily highs.

  • Headline PCE (annual): 2.5% YoY vs 2.4% YoY expected (2.4% YoY previously)
  • Headline PCE (monthly): 0.3% MoM vs 0.4% MoM expected (0.3% MoM previously)
  • Core PCE (annual): 2.8% YoY vs 2.8% YoY expected (2.8% YoY previously)
  • Core PCE (monthly): 0.3% MoM vs 0.3% MoM expected (0.3% MoM previously)
  • Personal Income: 0.3% MoM vs 0.4% MoM expected (1.0% MoM previously)
