Fed's Preferred Inflation Tracker To Hit Markets On Friday: Here Are 5 ETFs That Could Make Waves
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The Bureau of Economic Analysis is set to release the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index for September, a key inflation metric watched by the Federal Reserve. Economists expect the headline PCE price index to rise 3.4% YoY and 0.3% MoM. The core PCE price index is forecasted to increase 3.7% YoY and 0.3% MoM. The market currently assigns a 98% probability to the Fed keeping rates unchanged in the upcoming meeting. However, higher PCE figures could increase the likelihood of a rate hike in December. Five ETFs that could be impacted are SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), iShares 20+ Year Treasury ETF (TLT), SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), and Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP).
