Real PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) Chart

This chart shows the year-over-year change in Real Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), in relation to the S&P 500.  Real PCE measures consumer spending in real, inflation-adjusted dollars, so is valuable in GDP studies, and retail and consumer goods stock analysis.  High PCE can also indicate higher demand-push inflationary times ahead, so can be a leading input.

Note that Real PCE falls during recessions, as one would expect.
