The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index — a closely watched inflation gauge that the Federal Reserve uses for its 2% target — rose 0.3% from the month before, resulting in an annual rate of 2.7% that matched March’s gain, according to Commerce Department data. Although Friday’s report served as yet another reminder that slowing down inflation is a bumpy process, the results weren’t a surprise. Economists, by and large, weren’t expecting much of a meaningful shift in the inflation gauges. Both the monthly and annual increases in the overall and core index were projected to be unchanged from March, according to FactSet consensus estimates.
