Americans’ expectations for what inflation will be one year from now remained stuck at a record high for the second month in a row in December, according to a survey from the New York Federal Reserve, which also showed households anticipating a historic boost in earnings.

Consumers’ expectations for what inflation will be at the one-year horizon held steady in December at 6 percent, matching November’s record-high reading, according to the Jan. 10 survey.
