Both the headline and core PCE inflation rates remained subdued in December: On a conventional year-over-year basis, headline PCE inflation came in at 2.6% and core inflation was 2.9%. I've lately become attracted to quarterly rates for everything: it's a good compromise between the volatility of monthly figures and the staleness of year-over-year figures.
