Summary
Lucas and Luna dig into the latest CPI data released July 14, 2026, which showed consumer prices rising 3.5% annually, below expectations. They focus on the big story beneath the headline: energy prices fell sharply, but core services inflation remains stubborn. Using the Fed's Beige Book mention of a World Cup boost to bars and restaurants alongside consumer warning signs, they ask whether the soft-landing narrative is holding up. Specific numbers discussed include CPI at 332.6, core CPI at 336.1, and the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.23%. The hosts explore why the market rallied on the print and what it means for the Fed's next move. #CPI #Inflation #July2026CPI #CoreCPI #ServicesInflation #SoftLanding #FederalReserve #10YearBreakeven #ConsumerSpending #WorldCup #BeigeBook #EnergyPrices #EconomicData #FOMC #Disinflation #MacroEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
