The “Shadow” of Core PCE—How PPI Data Could Rewrite the Inflation Indicator the Fed Cares Most About
PPI is not the destination; it is the bridge to PCE. And PCE is the number the Federal Reserve truly cares about.
Whenever PPI data are released, professional traders focus not on PPI itself, but on what it signals for core PCE. That is because core PCE is the direct benchmark for the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target.
How PCE Is “Put Together”
The PCE Price Index is compiled like a puzzle, combining relevant data from PPI, CPI, and import prices. Several PPI components—including portfolio

The price is moving within a descending channel on the 1-hour timeframe. It has reached the lower boundary and appears set for a rebound; a retest of this boundary is expected, which should support an upward move.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a downward trend, but given the "oversold" condition on the 1-hour timeframe, there is a high probability of an upward breakout from this downtrend.

The Nikkei plunged 4.5% in one day, and chip stocks were hammered by the U.S. inflation data. I know this script—the bullish news gets priced in and turns bearish; nobody believes it can fall while it’s rising, and everyone looks for a reason once it starts dropping. Wall Street, don’t pretend nothing happened tonight. Maybe I’m wrong—just waiting to be proven wrong. Follow if you’re watching.

After the PPI data comes out, I plan to watch the reaction in US stocks first, then BTC

Many people trading BTC only watch the crypto market, but I’ve developed a habit—after major macroeconomic data is released, I first watch the reaction in US stocks, then BTC.

Why? Because the reaction in US stocks is often more “pure” than BTC’s.

RED HOT PPI. RED HOT inflation data.
And yet… Treasury yields are dropping HARD.
This could mean the bond market had already priced in the inflation scare, and is now beginning to look through it toward lower inflation ahead.
If that’s the case, this will become a VERY important shift for risk assets.
