US consumers’ short-term inflation expectations fell for a third consecutive month in June, to the lowest level in more than two years, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey.

Median one-year-ahead inflation expectations declined by 0.3 percentage point to 3.8%, the lowest reading since April 2021. The year-ahead inflation expectations peaked at 6.8% in June last year.
