The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis has announced a revision to the calculation method for the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, with the updated framework set to take effect on Sept. 30, 2026 and apply retroactively to 2021. According to Techub News, citing CryptoBriefing, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan expect the revised core PCE reading could move down from 3.4% to a range of 3.2% to 3.3%. The changes cover price calculations in three categories: portfolio management, legal services, and computer software. The BEA will use what the report described as a more robust producer price index data source. Analysts said the lower inflation reading could affect market expectations for the Federal Reserve’s rate path. At the same time, the report stressed that the revision reflects a statistical methodology change rather than a shift in underlying economic conditions.
