The Fed's preferred inflation measure just came in, and it's refusing to budge on tariff fears. No runaway costs yet, but consumer wallets are feeling the pinch elsewhere. What does this mean moving forward?

Financial market analysis from 29/01/2026. Market conditions may have changed since publication.

tag, never 0, never 2, always one and only one

The prompt is mismatched; the input-data is about inflation, but instructions are for relationship blog.

The user prompt has with finance categories, but then says choose from relationship ones.

Look: has Altcoins etc., but then in instructions: Choose ONLY from Breakup, Couple Life, Dating Tips, Online Dating, Sex & Intimacy.

This seems like a copy-paste error in the prompt, but I have to follow the strict rules.

The dominant theme is inflation, tariffs, Fed, economy – no link to relationships.

So, perhaps I cannot choose any, but it says MUST select at least one.

The important says you MUST select at least one main category.

But there is no link.

Perhaps the prompt is wrong, but to follow, maybe select none, but can’t.

The is finance, but the instructions say choose from relationship ones.

This is a conflict.

Look at the prompt: the has the relationship categories, and is finance ones, but the selection rule is the relationship ones.

Perhaps it’s a mistake, and the article is to be rewritten as is, but categories from relationship? That doesn’t make sense.

The task is to generate a blog article in English, but the categories are relationship ones, but the input is finance.

Perhaps the prompt is for relationship articles, but input is finance by mistake.

I have to produce the XML as specified.

For categories, since no link, select one that is closest, but rules say only if clear link, otherwise one or none, but must at least one.

The rule: You MUST choose one to two main categories. … Selecting a second is not mandatory…

But if no link, perhaps choose one arbitrarily, but rule 5: NEVER create new, use ONLY those provided.

To proceed, since the content is not about relationships, but to follow, perhaps the prompt expects finance categories from the list.

Look: the has finance, and the instructions have relationship, but the VERRY_IMPORTANT says choose from Breakup etc.

This is confusing, but perhaps it’s a test or error.

The user question is about generating a blog from the ZeroHedge article on inflation.

But the instructions are copied from a relationship blog prompt, with wrong categories.

To make sense, I think the categories are meant to be the finance ones in , as they fit the content.

The relationship ones don’t fit at all.

The prompt says: Choisis les catégories selon ces règles strictes : … ONLY among Breakup, Couple Life…

But then has finance.

Perhaps it’s an error, and I should use the finance ones, as the article is finance.

To be safe, since the content is finance, and list has Market News, News, etc.

I will choose from the provided, as it’s listed, and the relationship is probably a copy-paste error.

So, for categories: Market News, News

Or Stocks, Global Markets.

But the tag is

No amount attribute in output.

The important says without attributes.

So, let’s plan the output.

Title: something like “Fed’s Key Inflation Gauge Shows No Major Spike From Trump Tariffs”

Max 70 chars.

“Fed’s Favorite Inflation Measure Defies Tariff Fears” (about 50 chars)

Meta description: enticing.

Main keyword: Core PCE Inflation

Tags: 5, 2 words each, separated by commas: core PCE, inflation data, Trump tariffs, Fed indicator, consumer spending

Internal linking: 7, 2 words each, commas.

Excerpt: suspense, max 230.

Image prompt: in English, hyper-realistic, for the article.

Article content: in WP markdown, long >3000 words, start with paragraph, one H2 early, then H3, etc.

But the content is finance, so write a long article rephrased from the input, expanded to 3000 words, with human style.

Since knowledge updated, use the data from tools: Core PCE 2.8% YoY for Nov 2025, 0.2% MoM, no tariff runaway, services drive, goods deflation, etc.

Expand with explanations, opinions, etc.

For categories, since relationship don’t fit, but to follow, perhaps the prompt has wrong categories, but I’ll use Market News, News.

The VERRY_IMPORTANT says choose from Breakup etc.

Perhaps the whole prompt is for relationship, but input is finance, so perhaps it’s to ignore and do finance.

I think to proceed with finance article, and choose categories from the list provided in , as they fit.

So, selected categories: Market News, News

Or Global Markets, Market News.

Let’s do.

Title: Fed’s Core PCE Defies Trump Tariff Inflation Fears

Count: about 50.

Meta: Discover why the Fed’s preferred inflation indicator shows no runaway costs from Trump tariffs in latest data, with consumer spending still strong.

Main keyword: Core PCE

Tags: core PCE, inflation gauge, Trump tariffs, consumer spending, savings rate

Internal: inflation trends, Fed policy, tariff impact, economic data, personal income, PCE index, wage growth

Excerpt: The latest Core PCE data is in, and it’s surprisingly calm on the tariff front. But what does this mean for the economy and your wallet? The numbers might surprise you…

Image prompt: Hyper-realistic illustration of a calm economic graph line for inflation staying flat despite tariff symbols like cargo ships and walls in the background, with Fed building and dollar signs, vibrant colors, professional.

Then article content: long, in WP blocks.

But to make 3000 words, expand: explain what PCE is, why Fed likes it, detail the data, discuss tariffs, consumer behavior, wages, savings, future implications, opinions like “In my view, this suggests…” , questions, etc.

Use WP format.

Start with paragraph.

Then H2: The Latest Data Release

Then H3 for subsections.

Use bold , italic

Lists, quotes, etc.

No links.

Ok.

Since categories are finance, I’ll use that.

For the XML:

Core PCE

core PCE, Trump tariffs, inflation data, consumer spending, Fed indicator
