The Bureau of Economic Analysis just announced its approach for calculating October PCE inflation—it'll rely on the average readings from September and November CPI data. This methodology matters because PCE is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, and any shifts in how it's measured can ripple through market sentiment. For traders watching macro triggers, this procedural update is worth noting as it could influence inflation expectations and, by extension, Fed policy signals heading into Q4. Keep an eye on how these datasets align when they roll out.

ngl, this smoothing methodology feels like it's "beautifying" October data. It won't stay fake for long.

Starting to do this average trick again, the Fed just wants the data to look better.

Has the PCE algorithm been changed again? These people just like to play tricks; in the end, it's all about pushing the data down.

Here we go again with the calculation method. This time, using the average of September and November data to estimate October's PCE. It sounds quite surreal.

NGL, the Fed is still pulling these tricks, changing the algorithms for a long time, but the market still gets cut the same way.

Is this the same data magic again, using the average method to fool the market?

Wait, BEA uses the average method to calculate October PCE? That's a bit outrageous... The market will have to reprocess the data again.

Changing the algorithm again, is the Fed trying to deceive everyone?
