Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) prices in the United States remained unchanged in the fourth quarter of 2025, holding at 2.9%. According to data updated on 9 April 2026, the PCE price index—the key gauge of consumer inflation used by U.S. policymakers—matched its previous level of 2.9% recorded in the same quarter of 2025.
The steady reading suggests that price pressures neither intensified nor eased over the period, indicating a stable inflation backdrop heading into 2026. With the PCE index anchored at 2.9% in the fourth quarter, markets and policymakers alike are likely to view the data as a sign of relative equilibrium in consumer price dynamics, pending further releases that could clarify the trend.
