In the third quarter of 2025, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Prices remained stable in the United States, maintaining a rate of 2.90%. This consistent figure holds steady against the same percentage reflected in the previous quarter.
The Core PCE Price Index is a critical measure that excludes volatile items such as food and energy, providing insights into the underlying inflation trends. As of the data update on January 22, 2026, the stability of this indicator suggests a period of steady inflation, aligning with the Federal Reserve's strategic objectives to monitor and control inflation growth within the economy. The consistent rate signifies a moment of economic balance, which may influence monetary policy decisions moving forward.
The unchanged figure draws attention to the economic conditions influencing consumer pricing pressures, as policymakers and market participants closely evaluate these dynamics to anticipate future economic directions.
