Inflation, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, decreased to 2.5% in November, reaching its lowest point since March 2021, and heightening the anticipation of multiple interest rate cuts in 2024. Following the significant drop in the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, economists on Friday started to reevaluate the potential impact on the Fed’s plans for the next year.

The disclosure of the PCE inflation figures was accompanied by varied economic data, including an increase in the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for December and a substantial drop in November’s home sales, which fell below projections.
