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":"Why Central Banks Are Watching the Wage-Price Spiral","slug":"why-central-banks-are-watching-the-wage-price-spiral","published_at":"2026-06-26T19:47:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/why-central-banks-are-watching-the-wage-price-spiral","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-0075.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0075.mp3","summary":"In Episode 75 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the wage-price spiral — a concept central banks are monitoring closely in mid-2026. They use the current U.S. labor market as a case study, where the unemployment rate sits at 3.8% and average hourly earnings are growing at 4.2% year-over-year, while core PCE inflation hovers around 2.8%. Lucas explains the classic 1960s Phillips Curve logic, the breakdown in the 1970s, and why the relationship between wages and prices isn't as tight today. Luna pushes back on the assumption that tight labor markets automatically fuel inflation, citing productivity gains and anchored inflation expectations. The hosts also explore how the Fed's current 'data-dependent' stance reflects a new framework: watching wage growth in specific sectors like healthcare and leisure, not just the aggregate. A concrete, timely look at a debated policy pivot. #WagePriceSpiral #MonetaryPolicy #CentralBanks #FederalReserve #Inflation #PhillipsCurve #LaborMarket #WageGrowth #CorePCE #Unemployment #Productivity #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MonetaryPolicyExplained #Podcast #Economy #Mid2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In Episode 75 of Monetary Policy Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the wage-price spiral — a concept central banks are monitoring closely i…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":534,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/episodes/why-central-banks-are-watching-the-wage-price-spiral/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/monetary-policy-explained-with-fexingo-central-banks-money-supply-and-interest-rates-7872013/why-central-banks-are-watching-the-wage-price-spiral.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
