Let\u2019s get right to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

PCE As Expected<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Fed\u2019s preferred inflation gauge rose as expected in January.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bureau of Economic Analysis\u2019 personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose 0.3% monthly and 2.4% year over year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The core PCE price index, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.4% monthly and 2.8% annually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both numbers were in line with economists\u2019 expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Services prices rose 0.6% monthly and 3.9% annually while goods prices fell 0.2% monthly and were down 0.5% from a year ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Food prices rose 0.5% monthly and 1.4% annually while energy prices slid 1.4% monthly and dropped 4.9% annually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal incomes rose far more than anticipated, up 1% vs 0.3% expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal spending decreased 0.1% vs expectations for a 0.2% gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Weekly Jobless Claims Rise<\/span><\/h2>\n

Weekly jobless claims rose more than expected last week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Labor Department reported 215,000 Americans filed initial claims for unemployment benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was up by 13,000 from the week before and higher than 210,000 expected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing jobless claims rose by 45,000 to 1.91 million in the week ending February 17.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Salesforce <\/b>(CRM) shares are up 1.1% ahead of the open after beating Q4 expectations on the top and bottom line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the software company\u2019s results compared to analysts\u2019 estimates:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    That topped analysts\u2019 expectations for $2.20 in adjusted EPS on $9.15 billion in revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For the full fiscal year, the company sees adjusted EPS between $9.68 and $9.76 on $37.7 billion to $38 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Analysts were forecasting full-year EPS of $9.57 on $38.62 billion in revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Snowflake Tumbles<\/span><\/h2>\n
