Another week, another important piece of inflation data for the market to digest.

The personal spending and income report, out this coming Friday, has the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation: the core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index.

In comparison, the consumer price index (CPI), released this past week, only tracks price changes over time.
