最新报道:Inflation expectations dropped to pre-tariff levels in the latest University of Michigan survey, signaling easing consumer concerns. The one-year outlook fell to 2.3% in July, the lowest since 2018, while the five-year forecast dipped to 2.5%. Economists attribute the decline to stabilizing energy prices and moderating wage growth. Federal Reserve officials view the data as supporting a potential rate cut later this year, though some caution remains about underlying price pressures. The survey's current conditions index also improved slightly, reflecting steady consumer spending despite broader economic uncertainties.
