The PCE price index increased 0.3 percent. Excluding food and energy, the PCE price index increased 0.2 percent (table 5). Real DPI decreased 0.1 percent in April and real PCE decreased 0.1 percent; goods decreased 0.4 percent and services increased 0.1 percent (tables 3 and 4). table | post: The core PCE price index rose 0.25% in April (it rounded down to 0.2% because it was 0.249%) Jan-March figures were revised down ever so slightly.
