Core PCE Advanced for Q3 comes in at 2.2% vs 2.1% estimate- Prior quarter 2.8%

- PCE advanced 1.5% vs 2.5% prior
- Ex food and energy and housing 1.6% vs 2.3% prior
- PCE services ex Energy and housing 2.6% vs. 3.0% prior
The monthly PCE data will be released but the trend is to the downside. The headline PCE is below the 2.0% Fed target. The Core is also lower and closer to the 2.0% target at 2.2% (down from 2.8%). That is good news and supports the recalibration argument. The jobs report does not necessarily suggest that, however.
