## Resource

In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the 'funflation' phenomenon—where staying home for entertainment is no longer a cost-saving strategy. Using fresh May 2026 CPI data, they unpack how shelter and at-home services are driving core inflation higher, while goods prices stay flat. They explore what this means for Fed policy, the consumer spending shift from experiences to nesting, and why the CPI basket may need a rethink. With the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.24 percent and capacity utilization edging up, the hosts connect the dots between home inflation, sticky services, and the broader macro picture. A focused, data-driven conversation for anyone trying to read the economy in mid-2026. #CPI #Inflation #Funflation #ShelterInflation #CoreCPI #FederalReserve #ConsumerSpending #HomeEntertainment #ServicesInflation #EconomicIndicators #BreakevenRate #CapacityUtilization #PCE #MacroData #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
