The New York Federal Reserve released its latest monthly survey of consumer expectations.
- One-year inflation forecasts held steady at 3.6%.
- Three-year inflation expectations fell to 3.2% from the previous 3.3%.
- Five-year inflation expectations remained at 3%.
- The share of consumers expecting unemployment to rise reached its highest level since April 2020.
- Consumer views on the labor market were labeled "mixed" overall.
- Respondents expect higher gasoline prices in the future.
- Perceptions of current and future personal financial conditions worsened.
The report offered little positive news, but the Federal Reserve's primary focus is on inflation expectations, which do not justify a rate hike this month. Financial markets currently imply a 57% likelihood of a rate increase.
Unemployment expectations have deteriorated further.
