It was first introduced by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis and was adopted by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve as a primary measure of inflation in 2002.

If the Core PCE YoY exceeds 2%, the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy, which is beneficial for the U.S. dollar. Published Value> Expected Value = Bullish for the U.S. Dollar.
