The Bureau of Economic Analysis will release its monthly personal spending deflationary index on Thursday, giving investors the latest view on inflation across the US economy as the Federal Reserve raises its key interest rate to tame price increases.

Economists polled by Bloomberg expect personal consumption expenditures to rise 0.7% in May, compared to 0.2% in the previous month. On an annual basis, the PCE deflator is expected to accelerate to 6.4%, up from 6.3% in April.

The core PCE index, which strips out the cost of food and energy, is expected to remain flat from the previous month’s reading. Economists are looking at a 5.1% increase in core personal consumption expenditures in May, compared to April’s 5.1% rise.
