Feds Find Key Inflation Indicator - PCE - Puts Inflation at 2.1%

 

Economists expect both the overall personal consumption expenditures price index and the core rate, which excludes food and energy, to rise 0.1% in April. That would lower the broad PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) inflation rate to 2.1%. The core rate, central to Fed policy, is seen dipping to 2.5% from the initially reported 2.6% in March.

I believe Tariffs were supposed to raise prices.

Also, at the same time, Toyota had a record sales month. Shouldn't this drive inflation up?
