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. If you want to know not just what the data said today, but whether it matters for your next decision, this is the conv…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:21:16.733869+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725"},"episode":{"title":"How Home Inflation Is Reshaping the CPI in 2026","slug":"how-home-inflation-is-reshaping-the-cpi-in-2026","published_at":"2026-07-11T18:10:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/how-home-inflation-is-reshaping-the-cpi-in-2026","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0108.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0108.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the 'funflation' phenomenon—where staying home for entertainment is no longer a cost-saving strategy. Using fresh May 2026 CPI data, they unpack how shelter and at-home services are driving core inflation higher, while goods prices stay flat. They explore what this means for Fed policy, the consumer spending shift from experiences to nesting, and why the CPI basket may need a rethink. With the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.24 percent and capacity utilization edging up, the hosts connect the dots between home inflation, sticky services, and the broader macro picture. A focused, data-driven conversation for anyone trying to read the economy in mid-2026. #CPI #Inflation #Funflation #ShelterInflation #CoreCPI #FederalReserve #ConsumerSpending #HomeEntertainment #ServicesInflation #EconomicIndicators #BreakevenRate #CapacityUtilization #PCE #MacroData #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the 'funflation' phenomenon—where staying home for entertainment is no longe…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":541,"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/how-home-inflation-is-reshaping-the-cpi-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/how-home-inflation-is-reshaping-the-cpi-in-2026.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
