Summary
Episode 43 of Economic Indicators with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dig into a puzzling disconnect: GDP is growing, unemployment is low, yet the New York Fed's latest survey shows household financial worries hitting their highest level since July 2022. They unpack why the sentiment data matters more than GDP for the real economy, and what it signals for consumer spending and the Fed's next move. Plus, how the May CPI reading of 4.2 percent annual inflation feeds into the anxiety. A focused look at a key micro-macro divide. #ConsumerSentiment #NewYorkFed #GDP #CPI #Inflation #HouseholdFinances #MacroData #FedPolicy #ConsumerSpending #EconomicIndicators #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #PodcastEpisode #FinancialLiteracy #DataDriven #Macroeconomics #EconomicOutlook Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
