US data follows New York time. For a week or two in spring and autumn the UK and US change their clocks on different dates, so it lands an hour earlier in UK time. Those weeks are marked. 2026: 25 Oct to 1 Nov. 2027: 14 Mar to 28 Mar.

In October, November and December 2026 the PCE report comes out on the same morning as the US growth (GDP) figures.

2027 dates: not published yet. The US statistics agencies usually publish next year's dates late in the year. We add them here as soon as they are out.

What it means for gold

Cooler PCE than expected is usually bullish for gold. Hotter PCE is usually bearish. Read the full guide.

What is PCE?

PCE is the Fed's favourite measure of US inflation. It comes in the monthly personal income and spending report.
