11:20 AM EDT, 08/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Consumer expectations for one-year US inflation growth rose to a 3.1% gain in July from a 3.0% gain in the previous month, according to a survey released by the New York Federal Reserve Bank on Thursday.

The median inflation expectations for the three-year period stood at a 3% gain for the third consecutive month but accelerated to a 2.9% gain from a 2.6% gain for five years ahead.

The median inflation uncertainty slowed to 3.5% from 3.7% in the one-year horizon and slowed to 3.3% from 3.4% for the three-year outlook.

Median home price change expectations remained at a 3% gain for the third straight month while home price uncertainty slowed to 3.8% from 3.9% in the previous month.

The median one-year expectation for commodity price growth was unchanged for food but declined for all other components which include gas, medical care, cost of college education, gold and a particularly large slowdown for rent.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
