1005 ET - After receiving both CPI and PPI estimates this week, economists are beginning to publish forecasts for PCE--the Fed's preferred inflation measure. Oxford Economics predicts a 0.4% monthly increase in headline PCE prices and a 0.3% rise in core prices in April. Although weaker than the monthly rise seen in CPI and PPI, the increase would push headline PCE inflation up to 3.8% year-over-year, its highest reading since May 2023.(jessica.coacci@wsj.com)
