U.S. Core PCE Price Index Expected to Rise Amid Trade Policy Concerns

According to Odaily, market analysts anticipate a 0.1% increase in the U.S. core PCE price index for April, following a stable rate in March. Economists generally agree that while U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs are expected to have a mild impact on April's price data, the effects of trade policies may become more pronounced next month. With no significant signs of deterioration in the current job market, Federal Reserve officials are inclined to maintain interest rates until the impact of trade policy adjustments is fully reflected in economic data.
