American consumers are increasingly optimistic about their financial futures, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s November Survey of Consumer Expectations. Expectations for personal finances improved, with more households anticipating better financial situations a year from now—reaching their highest level since February 2020.
Inflation expectations also rose. One-year inflation expectations climbed to 3.0%, while three- and five-year expectations increased to 2.6% and 2.9%, respectively. Expectations about home price growth held steady at 3.0%, while household income growth expectations increased to 3.1%, up from 3.0% in October, and earnings growth expectations rose to 3.0%.
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce a third consecutive interest rate cut to ease inflation pressures. While further gradual rate cuts are anticipated in 2025, households and businesses can expect ongoing impacts on loan rates, including mortgages.
