December’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure, showed a 0.3% monthly increase and a 2.6% rise year-over-year, as expected.

David Stryzewski, CEO of Sound Planning Group joins Alicia Summers to provide insights into these trends, including the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.5%.
