The biggest event happens on Wednesday, August 26, when the July Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index comes out. The main PCE number is predicted to go 0.1% from one month to the next. The core PCE is expected to grow 0.2%. The core PCE is predicted to stay at 3.3% compared to the time last year.
