US DATA: Mixed But Still More Modest Inflation Expectations In NY Fed Survey

Aug-07 15:17

The NY Fed consumer survey saw mixed results for inflation expectations, with a small increase for 1Y, no change for 3Y and a more notable increase for 5Y. It remains a much more measured survey than the swings seen in U.Mich equivalent, for example. 

  • 1Y inflation expectations: 3.09% in July after 3.02% in June and 3.20% in May.
  • 3Y inflation expectations: 3.00% in July, unchanged for what has been a particularly sticky series with six of the last seven months at 3.0%.
  • 5Y inflation expectations: 2.88% in July after 2.61% in June for its highest since February.
  • Focusing on the 1Y, it’s a second month where it has broadly reversed the rise to 3.6% in both March and April on US tariff fears. Whilst the 1Y of 3.1% is low by post-pandemic standards, it has stabilized above pre-pandemic levels such as the 2.6% averaged in 2019 or 2.7% over a longer-term average of 2015-19.
  • This 1Y measure has been much more restrained compared to the 4.5% currently seen for U.Mich and 4.7% median for the Conference Board surveys.
