## Resource

In Episode 115 of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine the surprising June CPI report: headline inflation eased to 3.5% year-over-year, but core CPI barely budged at 336.1. They drill into what's driving the divergence — from falling energy prices to stubborn services inflation — and what it means for the Fed's next move. With the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.25% and the unemployment rate ticking down to 4.2%, the hosts debate whether the economy is cooling or just shifting shape. Plus, how bond markets are pricing the disconnect. #CPI #CoreInflation #FedPolicy #InflationData #JuneCPI #BondMarket #BreakevenRate #ServicesInflation #EnergyPrices #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicIndicators #MacroData #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Finance #Podcast #TreasuryYields Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
