Each episode dissects a specific policy move — a rate hike by the Federal Reserve, a quantitative easing program by the ECB, or a reserve requirement change by the People's Bank of China — and traces its impact on inflation, employment, and financial markets. Lucas brings the macroeconomic framework, citing exact data points from recent central bank statements and academic research. Luna pushes for the real-world implications: what does a 25-basis-point increase mean for a small business owner in Ohio or a bond trader in London? Together, they strip away jargon to reveal the mechanics of monetary transmission. The show serves investors, economics students, and professionals who need to understand policy signals without the noise. No hot takes, no political spin — just a clear-eyed look at how decisions made in marble halls ripple through the global economy. Can a central bank really steer growth without causing a recession? Lucas and Luna don't claim to have the answer, but they give you the tools to decide for yourself. #MonetaryPolicy #CentralBanks #FederalReserve #ECB #InterestRa…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:19:46.455535+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013"},"episode":{"title":"How Central Banks Use Overnight Index Swaps to Read Markets","slug":"how-central-banks-use-overnight-index-swaps-to-read-markets","published_at":"2026-07-14T19:43:26+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/how-central-banks-use-overnight-index-swaps-to-read-markets","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0111.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0111.mp3","summary":"Episode 111 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dive into the world of overnight index swaps, or OIS. They explain how the OIS rate strips out credit risk, making it a pure measure of expected central bank policy rates. Using the June 2026 FOMC meeting as a concrete anchor, they walk through how traders and policymakers parse the OIS curve to gauge rate expectations, and why a 75-basis-point gap between the fed funds rate and OIS signaled market stress in March 2020. They also compare OIS to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and show how swap spreads reveal hidden liquidity fears. No fluff, no intro — just a clear, specific breakdown of a tool that central bankers watch daily. Plus a brief, sincere moment about why Fexingo keeps these shows ad-free and listener-supported. #OvernightIndexSwaps #CentralBanking #OIS #FedFundsRate #FOMC #SOFR #SwapSpreads #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRateExpectations #LiquidityRisk #MarketStress #Economics #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastEpisode #Episode111 #PolicyTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 111 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo.
