## Resource

In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the May 2026 Producer Price Index report—wholesale prices surged 1.1% month-over-month, far above expectations, driven by a spike in energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. They discuss why PPI matters as a leading indicator for consumer inflation, how the 10-year breakeven rate is diverging from PPI, and what this means for Fed policy and interest-sensitive sectors. The hosts also connect the data to the ECB's surprise rate hike and the widening gap between industrial production and capacity utilization. A focused look at a single data point that could reshape the macro outlook. #PPI #WholesaleInflation #ProducerPriceIndex #EnergyCosts #IranConflict #Inflation #FederalReserve #ECB #InterestRates #10YearBreakeven #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #MacroData #Economics #EconomicIndicators #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Investing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
