Key Fed measure shows inflation rose 2.6% in May from a year ago, as expected
A key economic measure for the Federal Reserve showed Friday that inflation during May slowed to its lowest annual rate in more than three years.
The personal consumption expenditures price index increased just 0.1% for the month and was up 2.6% from a year ago, the latter number down 0.2 percentage point from the April level, according to a Commerce Department report Friday.
Both numbers were in line with the Dow Jones estimates. May marked the lowest annual rate since March 2021, which was the first time in this economic cycle that inflation topped the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.
Including food and energy, headline inflation was flat on the month and also up 2.6% on an annual basis. Those readings also were in line with expectations.
