## Resource

In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine the surprising June wholesale price decline announced on July 15, 2026, and what it tells us about where inflation is really headed. With producer prices falling 0.3% month-over-month, the duo explores why consumer prices rose 3.5% annually—less than expected—and what this divergence means for the Fed's next move. They dig into the role of gasoline volatility, services inflation, and the bond market's reaction as the 10-year breakeven rate sits at 2.25%. If you've ever wondered why the Fed focuses on PCE over CPI, or why wholesale and retail prices don't move in lockstep, this episode offers a clear, data-driven breakdown. No hot takes—just the numbers and what they imply for your portfolio and the economy through mid-2026. #ProducerPriceIndex #WholesalePrices #CPI #CoreInflation #GasolinePrices #ServicesInflation #FedPolicy #BreakevenRate #BondMarket #TenYearTreasury #EconomicIndicators #June2026 #InflationTrends #PortfolioStrategy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroData Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
