5-Year Breakeven Inflation Rate (FRED series T5YIE) is a daily inflation indicator measured in percent. The series is published through FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis economic database, with history going back to 2003.
Why it matters: 5-Year Breakeven Inflation Rate is one of the indicators traders, economists, and policymakers watch within the inflation complex. Investors and policymakers track it to gauge price pressures in the economy, since persistent moves feed directly into Federal Reserve rate decisions and real returns on assets.
How to read it: focus on the direction and persistence of changes rather than any single daily print. Comparing the latest value against its level a year ago, and against its long-run range since 2003, gives a better sense of whether the series is signaling acceleration, deceleration, or a turning point.
About This Series
The breakeven inflation rate represents a measure of expected inflation derived from 5-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Securities (DGS5 (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS5)) and 5-Year Treasury Inflation-Indexed Constant Maturity Securities (DFII5 (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFII5)). The latest value implies what market participants expect inflation to be in the next 5 years, on average. Starting with the update on June 21, 2019, the Treasury bond data used in calculating interest rate spreads is obtained directly from the U.S. Treasury Department (https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=yield).
