Michigan 5-Year Inflation Expectations: Release Dates, Results & History
Michigan 5-Year Inflation Expectations last printed 3.3 on Fri, Aug 28, 2026 against a 3.3 consensus forecast and a 3.3 prior, exactly on consensus. The next release is Friday, September 11, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
The 5-year read is the survey's long-run anchor gauge: whether households still believe inflation settles near target over the next five to ten years. The Fed leans on stability here as evidence expectations remain anchored, which is what buys it patience on policy. The series moves in tenths and rarely, so any break out of its recent range is a genuine event.

An upside surprise hits the long end hardest: a de-anchoring scare lifts inflation risk premium and steepens the curve. In-line prints are a non-event. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
