What is Inflation Expectations?
Inflation expectations measure what households, firms, professional forecasters, and the bond market believe inflation will be over different horizons (typically 1, 5, and 5-10 years ahead). Sources include the Michigan survey, the NY Fed survey, ECB SPF, and market-implied breakeven yields.
Why it matters for FX
Anchored inflation expectations are central banks' most prized asset. Once expectations un-anchor — meaning households and firms start expecting persistently higher inflation — pricing and wage-bargaining behaviour follows and inflation becomes self-perpetuating. The Fed and ECB watch market and survey measures closely; a meaningful shift in 5y5y expectations typically forces a policy reaction that moves the currency.
How to read this page
Watch 5y5y forward (the truly long-run gauge) for anchoring; watch 1-year for short-term inflation surprises feeding through to behaviour. Cross-reference market-implied breakevens with survey-based measures — divergence is a useful tell.
What to watch for
- 5y5y forward anchored at or near 2 percent
- Survey vs market measures diverging
- Michigan 1-year expectations spiking with energy prices
- ECB SPF revision rounds
- Asymmetry: faster un-anchoring than re-anchoring
