US Consumer Year-Ahead Inflation Expectations Lowest Since 2021
US short-term inflation expectations fell in early June to a more than two-year low, helping drive consumer sentiment higher. Americans expect prices will climb at an annual rate of 3.3% over the next year, down from the 4.2% expected in May, according to the preliminary June reading from the University of Michigan. The sentiment index increased to a four-month high of 63.9, also helped by an agreement to resolve the debt-ceiling crisis, the report showed Friday.

Global economic growth turned out stronger in 2022 than expected in the Fall. The IMF lifted its estimate of global growth during 2022 from 1.7% as of October 2022 to 2.0% in April 2023 (measured on a Q4/Q4 basis). Prices of commodities like food and energy have stabilized, supply chain pressures continued to ease, and China’s reopening should provide a boost to global growth. Nevertheless, Russia’s war against Ukraine continues to weigh on the outlook and has increased energy and food insecurity. Looking forward, the IMF projects global growth to increase in 2023, to 2.9% before increasing to 3.1% in 2024. The global economic outlook continues to face elevated uncertainty as Russia’s war enters its second year, core inflation remains high, and financial market stresses emerged. Global current account imbalances remained elevated in 2022 relative to pre-pandemic levels, as trade and tourism patterns remained disrupted. Rising commodity prices tended to strengthen the current accounts of commodity exporting countries and weaken those of commodity importers. Among major U.S. trading partners, the very large surpluses of Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and Singapore have each remained significant as a share of GDP over the four quarters through December 2022. China’s surplus was higher in dollar terms at $402 billion over four quarters through December 2022 (2.2% of GDP), roughly $49 billion higher than in the four quarters through December 2021. Meanwhile, the U.S. current account deficit rose modestly to 3.7% of GDP in the four quarters through December 2022, up from 3.6% of GDP in the four quarters through December 2021. Differing growth and inflation outlooks have led to a range of monetary policy actions across countries, and fundamentals including interest rate differentials, terms of trade shocks, and growth expectations have had large impacts on currencies.
