Fed Meeting Lacks PCE Inflation Data as Warsh Weighs Six-Meeting Schedule - News and Statistics - IndexBox

The Personal Consumption Expenditures index is scheduled for release on Oct. 29, one day after the central bank convenes, Yahoo Finance reported. While policymakers can draw on portions of other inflation datasets to approximate the PCE measure, one analyst argues that a slower meeting cadence would leave the Fed better equipped.
