The PCE Price Index MoM (Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index Month-over-Month) measures the monthly change in prices for goods and services consumed by individuals in the USA. It is a key indicator of inflation and is closely watched by the Federal Reserve when making monetary policy decisions.

Its significance lies in its comprehensive coverage of consumer spending and its role in guiding economic policy.
