PCE is another indicator that tracks consumer prices and although its not identical the price moves are highly correlated.

I've seen many comments dismiss the CPI as if it was somehow broken. The real problem is that the CPI is correct and that there is no inflation. Stock gains are either driven by a bubble or simply through unfair government policies or both at the same time.
