Summary
The June CPI data landed softer than expected, but the Fed's preferred inflation gauge—core PCE—is still running hot. Lucas and Luna dig into the divergence between CPI and PCE, explaining why the Fed trusts the latter more, and what the latest 2.25% breakeven rate signals about market expectations.
