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":"The Quiet Rise of Services Inflation in 2026","slug":"the-quiet-rise-of-services-inflation-in-2026","published_at":"2026-07-13T05:58:31+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/the-quiet-rise-of-services-inflation-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-0111.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0111.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Economic Indicators, Lucas and Luna examine a trend flying under the radar: services inflation is becoming stickier than goods inflation. With the Core PCE price index at 130.1 (up from 129.67) and the CPI at 334.0, they break down why services like rent, insurance, and healthcare are outpacing goods in price growth. Using the latest data from July 2026, they explain how this shift affects the Fed's policy decisions, why the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.24% isn't the full story, and what it means for your wallet. They also touch on the 'funflation' phenomenon and why staying home isn't as cheap as it used to be. A must-listen for anyone tracking inflation beyond the headlines. #ServicesInflation #CorePCE #CPI #Inflation2026 #FedPolicy #EconomicIndicators #Funflation #ImputedRent #BreakevenRate #ConsumerPrices #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #MacroData #EconomicsPodcast #BusinessPodcast #ServicesSector #PriceStickiness #RealGDP Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of Economic Indicators, Lucas and Luna examine a trend flying under the radar: services inflation is becoming stickier than goods inflatio…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":545,"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/the-quiet-rise-of-services-inflation-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/the-quiet-rise-of-services-inflation-in-2026.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
