(Sharecast News) - The market spotlight at the end of the week will be on the release of a reading on the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.
Consensus is that the annual rate of increase in the price deflator for personal consumption expenditures was unchanged at 2.5%.
The pace of increase in core PCE prices meanwhile was expected to have ticked higher by one tenth of a percentage point to 2.7%.
