The monthly PCE data will be released but the trend is to the downside. The headline PCE is below the 2.0% Fed target. The Core is also lower and closer to the 2.0% target at 2.2% (down from 2.8%). That is good news and supports the recalibration argument. The jobs report does not necessarily suggest that, however.
