The BEA launched the Private Revenue and Outlays report for August:
Private revenue elevated $50.5 billion (0.2 p.c at a month-to-month charge) in August, based on estimates launched as we speak by the U.S. Bureau of Financial Evaluation. Disposable private revenue (DPI), private revenue much less private present taxes, elevated $34.2 billion (0.2 p.c) and private consumption expenditures (PCE) elevated $47.2 billion (0.2 p.c).
The PCE value index elevated 0.1 p.c. Excluding meals and power, the PCE value index elevated 0.1 p.c. Actual DPI elevated 0.1 p.c in August and actual PCE elevated 0.1 p.c; items elevated lower than 0.1 p.c and companies elevated 0.2 p.c.
emphasis added
The August PCE value index elevated 2.2 p.c year-over-year (YoY), down from 2.5 p.c YoY in July, and down from the current peak of seven.2 p.c in June 2022.

Utilizing the two-month methodology to estimate Q3 actual PCE progress, actual PCE was rising at a 3.3% annual charge in Q3 2024. (Utilizing the mid-month methodology, actual PCE was rising at 2.6%). This implies strong PCE progress in Q3.
