💡Summary:
• Inflation ran at a 2.1% annualized rate over the three months through July
• Core PCE rose 0.2% in July from a month earlier
• Nonfarm payroll data releases tomorrow, a key indicator for macro growth

The Fed’s preferred gauge of consumer prices, the personal consumption expenditures price index, rose 0.2% in July from a month earlier, the same pace as in June. So-called core prices, which exclude volatile food and energy categories, rose at the same rate. Economists see core inflation as a better predictor of future inflation than overall price changes. This year, economists see lower growth as a good sign that inflation is finally tapering off.
The latest report showed inflation ran at a 2.1% annualized rate over the three months through July. From a year earlier, prices rose 3.3% in July versus a 3% gain in June. Core prices rose at a 2.9% annualized rate over the previous three months.
Nonfarm payroll data will be released on Friday, a key indicator of job growth and economic activity. Economists expect tomorrow's Nonfarm payrolls to lower to 170,000 vs. 187,000 last month.
