I just noticed that the US December PCE data has been released, with a figure of 2.9% compared to last year, a slight increase from the initial forecast of 2.8%. This index is quite important because it directly influences the Fed's interest rate decisions.

Interestingly, the US PCE is considered a more official inflation measure than the CPI because it reflects actual consumer spending. Since 2002, the Fed has used this index as one of the main criteria to assess inflation trends.

Some analysts believe that this US PCE figure indicates that inflationary pressures still exist, although they have decreased compared to previous years. Of course, everyone is waiting to see how the Fed will respond to this data in upcoming meetings.
