All values come directly from BEA via FRED (PCEPI). We do not modify, smooth, or interpolate published values.
Personal Consumption Expenditures price index — the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge. Covers a broader basket than CPI and adjusts for consumer substitution behavior. The Fed's 2% inflation target is defined in PCE terms.
Monthly — we refresh daily; new values typically appear on the upstream release calendar.
We gate dateModified updates to actual value changes (threshold: 0.01% absolute or 0.5% relative) to prevent freshness spoofing. If the upstream value hasn't moved, we don't claim we updated the page.
