The fears at the beginning of this year that the tariffs of President Donald Trump would lead to a strong inflation tip, according to a survey published on Tuesday in New York Federal Reserve.
The central bank's monthly survey on the expectations of consumers shows that the respondents recorded in inflation in inflation in 12 months in 12 months. This is the same level that took office in January Trump and rattled over the trade.
The level marked a decline of 0.2 percentage points from May and a withdrawal compared to the 3.6% peak goal in March and April.
Trump has been a more conciliatory approach since April of 10% tariffs and a menu with so-called mutual tasks against the US trade partner.
So far, the tariffs in most inflation readings do not have to appear. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index only rose by 0.1% in May, although the annual inflation rate of 2.4% remains above the 2% target of the FED.
According to the survey, inflation expectations in the three and five year horizons were 3% and 2.6% unchanged.
While the prospects of the headline inflation declined, the respondents still expect higher prices in several important individual categories. The survey referred to the expectations of an increase in gas prices by 4.2%, 9.3% for medical care – the highest since June 2023 – and 9.1% for both university formation and for rent. The prospects for food price increases were 5.5%unchanged.
The employment metrics also showed a certain improvement, whereby the expectation for a higher unemployment rate per year decreased by 1.1 percent. In addition, the average expectation of the loss of the workplace fell to 14%, one percentage point by 0.8 percent and the lowest reading since December.
