About this episode
The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, showed on Friday that prices increased in August, rising 0.3%, and the annual rate moved up to 2.7%. This data from the Commerce Department comes as the Federal Reserve tries to navigate the challenges of bringing inflation back down to their target of 2%, but also being mindful of what they see as a weakening job market.
