Are Rising Inflation Expectations a Golden Opportunity for Investors?

Are Rising Inflation Expectations a Golden Opportunity for Investors?

The personal consumption expenditure (or PCE) price index climbed 2.0% year-over-year (or YoY) in March 2018, which was the biggest gain since February 2017. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the core PCE index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, rose by 1.9% YoY. Economists are now expecting PCE to hit 2.0% in May because of favorable base effects.
