US Personal Consumption Expenditure Slows in May
The US PCE deflator for May is as follows.
- Overall change from previous month: Forecast 0.2% Result 0.1% Previous 0.4%
- Overall YoY change: Expected 3.8% Result 3.8% Previous 4.4%
- Core YoY: Forecast 0.5% Result 0.3% Previous 0.4%
- Core YoY change: Forecast 4.7% Result 4.6% Previous 4.7%
- Personal income month-on-month: forecast 0.3% result 0.4% last time 0.4%
- Personal spending month-on-month: forecast 0.2% result 0.1% last time 0.6%
The PCE Composite Price Index in May showed the lowest growth in about two years, and consumer spending remained almost flat in real terms from February to May. On the other hand, the year-on-year growth rate of the core price index has remained at roughly the same level since the end of 2022. It suggested that the momentum of US economic growth slowed significantly in the second quarter.
The savings rate rose to 4.6% from 4.3% in April. Consumers are becoming more cautious about spending due to concerns about a recession.
The PCE price index is an inflation indicator that the US Federal Reserve and others emphasize, and the indicated continuous slowdown in inflation serves as a guideline for judging the need for additional interest rate hikes in the future.
According to Bloomberg, Bloomberg Economics’ Stuart Paul et al., “Personal income and spending data for May show that the relationship between income growth and inflation is gradually loosening, according to the FOMC dot released in June.・It is doubtful whether another 0.5% rate hike is necessary, as suggested by the plot (interest rate forecast distribution chart).
