The Bureau of Economic Analysis releases the personal consumption expenditures price index for April. Consensus estimate is for the PCE price index to increase 2.7% year over year.

The core PCE, the Federal Reserve's favored inflation gauge, is at its lowest level since March of 2021, but still above the Fed's target of 2%.
