As the holiday season approaches, investors saw new home sales jump. Additionally, home values rose this year. Many factors play a role in the increase, particularly limited inventory and inflation. Currently, investors worry about future economic growth. This past month, the United States witnessed record-high inflation, supply chain struggles, and job growth struggles.

With COVID numbers growing but unemployment aid ending, it’s possibly very unstable for the economy as experts continue to monitor the ever-changing situations across the country concerning inflation, job growth, and the housing markets.

The latest data shows that inflation continues its epic climb while home sales rapidly recover across the country. As a result, the outlook on economic growth and future Fed policy remains stagnant. The Fed stated that their core PCE target is 2.0%. In May 2021, core PCE rose 3.4% higher than a year ago. While this is slightly below the consensus forecast, core PCE jumped up from an annual rate of increase of 3.1% in April.
