TIL: What is Core PCE Price Index?

The core PCE price index is a measure of inflation that is released as part of the Personal Income and Outlays report. It excludes the categories of food and energy, which tend to have more volatile price movements, in order to better reflect the overall trend of inflation. This index is closely monitored by the Federal Reserve when making decisions about monetary policy.
