The Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) program produces monthly
data on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a
representative basket of goods and services.

Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Comprehensive
measure of how much consumers spend. Counting expenditures
on durable goods, consumer products, and services.

Personal Consumption is a comprehensive measure of GDP;
consequently the figure is watched as an indicator for economic
trends. Spending also has direct affect on inflationary pressures.  

A healthy Personal Spending figure means that consumers are
buying goods and services, fueling the economy and spurring
output growth. The report is particularly valued for forecasting
inflationary pressures. Taken in excess these high levels of
consumption and production may lead to an overall increase in
prices. Indeed, the Fed uses a measure of inflation derived from
the PCE as their primary gauge of inflation.

On the other hand, persistently low Personal Spending may result
in decreasing levels of output and an economic downturn. -
