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 Inflation Expectations Signal a Shift in Consumer Behavior","slug":"how-household-inflation-expectations-signal-a-shift-in-consumer-behavior","published_at":"2026-06-08T17:55:43+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/how-household-inflation-expectations-signal-a-shift-in-consumer-behavior","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-0039.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0039.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the latest New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations, which shows household worries over finances hitting their highest level since July 2022. They explore how this shift in consumer sentiment is beginning to affect spending patterns, savings rates, and even the Federal Reserve's policy path. With the May jobs report due Friday and the S&P 500 down 2.4% in the past five days, the hosts connect the dots between rising anxiety and real economic data like the 4.3% unemployment rate and the 7.6 million job openings from JOLTS. They discuss why inflation expectations matter more than current inflation for economic forecasting, and what it means when consumers start expecting higher prices but aren't seeing it in core PCE yet. A timely look at the psychology driving macro trends. #InflationExpectations #ConsumerSentiment #NewYorkFed #HouseholdFinances #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicIndicators #JobsReport #UnemploymentRate #JOLTS #CorePCE #SP500 #MacroData #ConsumerBehavior #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicOutlook Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the latest New York Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations, which shows househol…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":485,"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-household-inflation-expectations-signal-a-shift-in-consumer-behavior/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-household-inflation-expectations-signal-a-shift-in-consumer-behavior.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
