US Michigan Inflation Expectations Prel (Mar) 3.4% vs. Exp. 3.9% (Prev. 3.4%)

The preliminary inflation expectations from Michigan show a decline to 3.4% from a consensus of 3.9%, while the previous month held steady at 3.4%. This downward surprise suggests weaker inflation sentiment among consumers, potentially signaling shifts in the growth-inflation mix and complicating the rate outlook for the Fed, which may influence market reactions across rates and FX.
