U.S. INFLATION WORRIES HIT LOWEST SINCE EARLY 2022 — MORGAN STANLEY Consumer concerns about inflation have fallen to a nearly three-year low, Morgan Stanley’s latest survey shows. 56% of respondents cited inflation as their top worry, down from 60% in August and 63% a year ago. While sentiment toward the economy and household finances improved, the bank warned that tariff-related price pressures could still emerge as companies flex pricing power. Confidence rose, with 36% expecting the economy to improve, up from 33% last month.(*Walter Bloomberg)
