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 Household Finances Are Souring Despite GDP Growth","slug":"how-household-finances-are-souring-despite-gdp-growth","published_at":"2026-06-09T17:55:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/how-household-finances-are-souring-despite-gdp-growth","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-0041.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0041.mp3","summary":"GDP is growing at 1.6 percent annualised, the unemployment rate is 4.3 percent, and payrolls keep rising. So why did the New York Fed's latest survey show household financial worries hitting their highest level since July 2022? Lucas and Luna dig into the disconnect between top-line macro data and what families are actually feeling. They look at the gap between nominal GDP growth and real wage gains, the surge in long-term unemployment that official jobless numbers miss, and why the ten-year breakeven inflation rate falling to 2.35 percent might signal that consumers are more pessimistic than the headline CPI suggests. If you have felt the economy is fine on paper but tight in your wallet, this episode explains why the numbers and the vibes have split. #NewYorkFed #HouseholdFinances #GDPGrowth #Inflation #ConsumerSentiment #LaborMarket #LongTermUnemployment #RealWages #BreakevenInflation #EconomicDisconnect #MacroData #FederalReserve #CPI #Podcast #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"GDP is growing at 1.6 percent annualised, the unemployment rate is 4.3 percent, and payrolls keep rising.
