In each episode, Lucas traces a specific indicator—say, the core PCE deflator or the ISM manufacturing index—while Luna challenges the consensus interpretation, pushing toward the second-order effects that get lost in the headline numbers. They never just report the data; they argue about its signal-to-noise ratio, its revisions history, and its predictive track record. This is a show for the analyst, the portfolio manager, the economist, or the business leader who needs to interpret economic releases faster and more skeptically than the press releases. Lucas and Luna hold each other accountable to the numbers, calling out the difference between statistical noise and genuine turning points. Each episode closes with one unresolved tension: a data point that defies easy narrative, a lagging indicator that might be about to flip, or a policy response that could scramble the forecast.

With industrial production rising but jobless claims creeping up, they ask whether this is a signal of resilience or a warning of a slowdown. They dive into the latest capacity utilization reading of 76.2 percent, compare it to pre-pandemic averages, and discuss what it means for inflation and the Fed's next move. A must-listen for anyone trying to read the economic tea leaves in mid-2026. #CapacityUtilization #ConsumerSpending #EconomicIndicators #IndustrialProduction #Inflation #FederalReserve #GDP #CPI #MacroData #LaborMarket #JoblessClaims #WholesalePrices #Energy #BusinessCycle #RecessionSignals #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore a growing divergence in the macro data: capacity utilization is ticking higher…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":379,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/episodes/capacity-utilization-vs-consumer-spending-divergence-in-2026/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/capacity-utilization-vs-consumer-spending-divergence-in-2026.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
