A recent survey from the New York Fed indicates that consumer inflation expectations increased in June. Despite a noted decline in energy prices, these expectations have reached their highest level in three years.
Coverage from outlets including Bloomberg, Reuters, PYMNTS.com, and Yahoo Finance highlights a disconnect between falling gas prices and sustained public concern regarding the cost of living.
