5Y5Y Forward Inflation

5-year, 5-year forward inflation expectation rate, the Fed's preferred anchoring metric.

5Y5Y Forward Inflation is part of the Yield Curve & Rates category. Interest rates set the price of money and ripple through every asset class. An inverted yield curve has preceded every U.S. recession since the 1960s, making this the single most-watched corner of fixed income. Monitoring rate differentials, real yields, and forward expectations helps traders anticipate risk-on or risk-off regime shifts.
