A higher figure than expected makes the Bank of Japan more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the Japanese yen and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.

Por qué importa
In the United States the Federal Reserve's 2% target is defined on the PCE price index, and the core measure (without food and energy) is the one policymakers quote most. Because CPI comes out first, markets usually know roughly what PCE will show; surprises come from the parts measured differently, such as health care.
Cómo se calcula
PCE prices are built from the same price data as CPI and producer prices, but weighted by what households actually spend (including what is paid on their behalf, like employer health insurance), and the weights change every period. The GDP deflator divides nominal GDP by real GDP.
Deflator = nominal GDP ÷ real GDP × 100
PCE inflation = PCE index ÷ PCE index a year ago − 1Qué significan los cambios
- Core PCE above 2% and rising keeps the Fed cautious about cutting rates.
- The monthly change annualised (× 12) shows the latest pace; three-month averages smooth the noise.
Mayor de lo esperado: A higher figure than expected makes the Bank of Japan more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the Japanese yen and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.
Menor de lo esperado: A lower figure than expected gives the Bank of Japan room to cut or hold rates lower: the Japanese yen tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
Una breve historia
The Fed switched its preferred inflation measure from CPI to PCE in 2000 and wrote the 2% PCE target into its strategy in 2012.
