JUST IN: PCE inflation declined to 2.1% (y/y) in September — That’s the lowest since early 2021 and basically at the Fed’s 2% target. “Core PCE” (which excludes food and energy) remains at 2.7% for the past year. There was hope that would tick down as well, but it didn’t in September due to price increases in the service sector. The takeaway: Inflation continues to tick down slowly. There will be bumpiness and we saw it in September
