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":"Why the PCE Price Index Matters More Than CPI","slug":"why-the-pce-price-index-matters-more-than-cpi","published_at":"2026-07-08T05:59:19+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/economic-indicators-with-fexingo-gdp-cpi-pmi-and-reading-the-macro-data-7871725/why-the-pce-price-index-matters-more-than-cpi","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-0100.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/economic-indicators/episode-0100.mp3","summary":"In this milestone 100th episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a subtle but crucial shift in how inflation is measured. They explain why the Federal Reserve prefers the PCE price index over the more familiar CPI, and why that difference matters for your portfolio. Using the latest data — CPI at 334.0, Core PCE at 130.1, and the 10-year breakeven at 2.25% — they walk through the 'substitution effect' and 'weighting' quirks that make PCE the Fed's true north. If you've ever wondered why inflation headlines and your wallet don't always match up, this episode gives you the framework to understand the gap. #PCEPriceIndex #CorePCE #CPI #InflationMeasurement #FederalReserve #SubstitutionEffect #EconomicIndicators #MacroData #MonetaryPolicy #RealGDP #BreakevenInflation #FOMC #BureauOfEconomicAnalysis #BureauOfLaborStatistics #PersonalConsumptionExpenditures #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this milestone 100th episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a subtle but crucial shift in how inflation is measured.
