re: March PCE comes in as expected, slightly hotter YoY

[quote]Just more evidence of a bifurcated economy. [/quote]
I can't disagree. The continued strength of inflation outpacing wages is always going to impact the poor more than the wealthy. The market has seen some good returns (good enough to outpace inflation), but that only helps those who hav...

March PCE comes in as expected, slightly hotter YoY
Posted by Bard on 5/31/24 at 8:21 am
MoM PCE for March was .3%, YoY was 2.7% (expectation was 2.6%). Core MoM PCE came in at .3% (again, as expected) with YoY at 2.8% (expectation was 2.7%).
This comes on the heels of Q1 GDP being revised down from 1.6% to 1.3%.
Probabilities of a September cut are now about dead even.

From the best of my understanding (haven't followed this much), what they seem to be trying to do is say he knowingly broke election laws by telling Cohen to pay hush-money to Stormy (not illegal, btw) and then reimburse himself from the campai...

We're producing more oil than ever before. The problem with gasoline prices isn't oil production, it's refinement capacity (which has continued to drop since COVID). [link=(https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n...
