## Resource

The New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations dropped last week showing household financial worries at their highest since July 2022. Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers: the share of households expecting to be worse off a year from now, the spike in perceived difficulty accessing credit, and what these soft sentiment readings mean for the Federal Reserve's policy path heading into the June FOMC meeting. They connect the survey data to the recent ADP jobs report showing 122,000 private payrolls added in May, and explore why the Fed might care more about consumer mood right now than a still-tight labor market. A focused look at the sentiment-policy loop, anchored in the June 10, 2026 market and data environment. #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #HouseholdDebt #ConsumerSentiment #NewYorkFed #SCE #InflationExpectations #CreditConditions #ADP #JobsReport #FOMC #InterestRates #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Policy #Sentiment #Anxiety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
