This could be a sign that the Federal Reserve's interest rate plans are beginning to have an impact.

US government data released on Thursday showed that price increases that had held steady in the past 12 months ended in May, while the rise in consumer spending slowed sharply.

This, according to some, may comfort consumers as a sign that the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate plans are beginning to have an effect in limiting the fastest uptick in inflation seen in more than four decades.

Compared to May 2021, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index rose 6.3%, the same pace as in the prior month, despite it rising 0.6% compared to April, according to the Commerce Department.

This monthly increase, which was faster than in the preceding month, was still below economist projections.

The PCE price index is the US Federal Reserve's preferred tool to gauge inflation, because it reflects the actual spending made by consumers, including their shifts to lower-cost items.
