# Michigan 5-Year Inflation Expectations: release dates, results and history


    Michigan 5-Year Inflation Expectations last printed 3.5 on Fri, Oct 9, 2026 against a 3.4 prior. The next release is Friday, October 23, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.

    The 5-year question is whether households still think inflation settles near target somewhere five to ten years out. That is the long-run anchor. When the number holds still, the Fed treats that as evidence expectations are anchored, and that is what buys patience on policy. It moves in tenths, and not often, which is exactly why a break out of the recent range is a real event.

## How it moves Treasuries

    An upside surprise hits the long end hardest. A scare about the anchor slipping gets paid for in inflation risk premium, and that steepens the curve. Come in line and nothing happens at all. See it scored live on the [Helious desk](https://helious.io/),
