NY Fed: Inflation Expectations Dropped To 1 Year Low Ahead Of Iran War Amid Improving Household Finances
While the latest NY Fed consumer expectations report shows sentiment from February, and does not account for the surge in oil prices as a result of the Iran war, the trend continues to be supportive which would be good news for the US economy if the current energy price spikes proves to be transitory.
In what was the calm before the Persian Gulf storm, Americans' inflation expectations eased further back in February amid mixed views on the state of the job market and current and future finances. Specifically, the expected level of inflation a year from now dropped to 3% from 3.1% in January, and the lowest since the start of 2025 while the projected level of inflation three and five years from now held steady at 3%.

Key Events This Week: CPI, PCE, ADP, Durable Goods And More
With the Fed in their self-imposed blackout period, the economic data will get a chance to do the talking ahead of the March 18th FOMC meeting. Of particular note will be the inflation data, namely Wednesday's CPI report for February and Friday's core PCE reading for January, but there will also be some scattered labor market data to help put context around last Friday's disappointing February employment report. Of course, all of that assumes that traders can be dragged away from the latest Iran war headlines fro more than 5 minutes.

DB's expectations are for a 1.0% increase in energy prices to boost headline CPI (+0.27% forecast vs. +0.17% previous) relative to core (+0.24% vs. +0.30%).
