AI pre-release briefing

The US PCE inflation data for July 2026 is scheduled for release on August 26th. With consensus unknown, a hawkish surprise would be significantly higher readings than expected, while a dovish surprise would be notably lower figures. Markets will closely monitor this medium-importance inflation print. Typically, higher-than-expected PCE could pressure BTC and S&P 500 lower, boost USD, and support gold. Conversely, lower-than-expected PCE could see BTC and S&P 500 rise, USD weaken, and gold face headwinds.
