The PCE price index, which is the US Federal Reserve's primary measure of inflation, increased 0.4 per cent from the previous month and 3.8 per cent from a year earlier in April. Excluding food and energy prices, the core PCE price index rose 0.2 per cent month-on-month and 3.3 per cent year-on-year, the BEA said.

US CPI inflation jumped to 3.8% YoY in April 2026, outpacing 3.6% wage growth. Real wage compression frustrates voters and delays Fed rate cuts.

Consumers now expect prices to rise 4.8% over the next year, up from 3.4% in February, and businesses and bond markets are signaling similar expectations.
