At 11 PM tonight, the PCE data will be released.

This is a big day—the first official inflation data to come out after the US government shutdown is finally here.

Unlike employment data, which can be ambiguous, CPI-related data is always straightforward: higher than expected? The market will likely take a hit. Lower than expected? That’s a warm boost.

Tonight’s PCE data is highly likely to stir up some waves. For those holding positions, remember to keep a close eye on the market so you’re not caught off guard by any sudden volatility.
