The PCE-based ecumenical underlying inflation measure was 2.7% in October. That is the median of 9 measures over 3 time periods all remeaned to match the Fed's PCE goal.

(FWIW, my own judgment a touch lower than this, a lot of 12-month affecting this.)

🚨Narrative violation alert🚨
Six-month core PCE inflation rate, the measure I and others watch closely, is officially lower this month than when President Biden first took office.

Because inflation, tied to the pandemic and supply chains, was already increasing in late 2020.

Before we dive into this excellent PCE inflation print, let's step back and look at inflation's slowdown against the unemployment rate.

This disinflation is simply unprecedented in the past 60 years. But the supply shock challenges from reopening were equally unprecedented. /1
