  • US May 2026 PCE Inflation Hits 4.1%, Fed Hike Risk Persists
    June 25, 2026, 10:27 AM EDT. In May 2026, the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 4.1% year over year, marking the highest inflation level since April 2023. Consumer spending increased 0.7% in nominal terms but only 0.3% in real terms after adjusting for inflation. The Federal Reserve has maintained its benchmark interest rate but signals stronger inflation projections and a year-end federal funds rate of 3.8%. Rate futures reduced July hike odds to 30% but kept September chances near 80%. Investors watch demand closely, as rising prices may pressure corporate margins despite revenue gains. Market experts warn of volatility amid less Fed clarity and ongoing energy price uncertainties impacting inflation expectations.
