US consumers’ inflation expectations hit a record low in July, according to the results of a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. 

The results, published on August 12, showed that people’s median expectations for inflation three years ahead had fallen to a record low of 2.3%, compared with the 2.9% recorded in June.
