What markets and households think inflation will be — 5- and 10-year breakevens from TIPS, the 5y5y forward the Fed watches, the Cleveland Fed's model, and the Michigan consumer survey. Expectations are self-fulfilling: workers bargain and firms price on them, which is why the Fed treats this page's series as its anchor gauge.
