Why it matters for cross-border payments
Because the Fed’s target is defined in PCE terms, this release can shift expectations for the next FOMC decision even after CPI is known.
Exchange rates can move sharply in the minutes after a release. If you are converting a large amount, knowing when the figure lands helps you decide when to book it.
