US monthly data pack for May, including PCE inflation data, was released today at 1:30 pm BST. Report was expected to show a slowdown in headline and core PCE measures, as well as acceleration in personal income and spending growth. However, it should be said that while PCE is Fed's preferred inflation measure, it is released with a lag compared to CPI data and therefore may not have as much as impact on the markets.
Actual data turned out to be mostly in-line with expectations - headline and core CPI slowed to 2.6% YoY, just as market expected, with monthly changes also matching estimates. Some surprise was offered in personal income and spending data, with the former growing more than expected and the latter growing less than expected. Overall, data should not have too much impact on Fed's policy view.
