What happened
A New York Fed survey indicates that inflation expectations among U.S. consumers rose in June, reaching a three-year high. Despite a retreat in energy prices, consumers remain concerned about the increasing costs of rent and healthcare.
Coverage from Bloomberg, qz.com, and Yahoo Finance emphasizes the rise in inflation fears. Reuters and Bloomberg also report that Fed's Williams remains optimistic about the economy, citing steady trend-like growth and the impact of falling gas prices.
Future attention will be on whether falling energy prices eventually calm inflation fears, as current data from PYMNTS.com suggests they have so far failed to do so.
