About 5-Year Breakeven Inflation — United States
DEFINITION
US 5-Year Breakeven Inflation rose to 2.310000% in July, up from June’s 2.280000%, marking a modest increase. The steady climb from late June’s 2.19% to early July’s 2.31% signals a slight upward trend in inflation expectations. Market participants will watch upcoming inflation data closely amid this gradual rise. Updated 7/9/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Inflation prints feed directly into central-bank policy expectations and real-yield calculations, and are among the most rate-sensitive releases on the calendar. Surprises against consensus can drive short-term moves, particularly when the print breaks an established trend. Released daily.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jul 2026): actual 2.28 Percent. Prior reading (Jul 2026): 2.31 Percent. Before that (Jul 2026): 2.28 Percent.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a lower reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary headwind in the current projection.
