US data pack for September was released at 1:30 pm BST today. Attention was mostly on PCE inflation data and it surprised to the downside. Core PCE accelerated from 4.9 to 5.1% YoY, less than 5.2% YoY expected while headline gauge stayed unchanged at 6.2% YoY (exp. 6.3% YoY). Personal income data came in slightly below expectations while spending data showed a small beat. Overall, this data pack should not change much in terms of next week's Fed meeting.
