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 Again","slug":"why-central-banks-are-watching-the-wage-price-spiral-again","published_at":"2026-07-07T07:29:05+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-again","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-0096.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/monetary-policy-explained/episode-0096.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the renewed central bank focus on the wage-price spiral in mid-2026. With labour markets still tight and services inflation sticky, policymakers worry that persistent wage growth could feed a self-reinforcing loop. Lucas explains the historical context—the 1970s experience and how it differs today—and walks through the specific data points the Fed, ECB, and Bank of Japan are watching: the Atlanta Wage Tracker, unit labour costs, and productivity figures. Luna raises the counterargument that profit margins and supply chains matter more, and Lucas breaks down why central banks still see wages as the key transmission mechanism. The episode closes on the question of whether today's institutional credibility makes a full spiral unlikely, but warns that the risk isn't zero. Specific and grounded, this episode helps listeners understand one of the most debated concepts in monetary policy today. #WagePriceSpiral #CentralBanks #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #FederalReserve #ECB #BankOfJapan #AtlantaWageTracker #UnitLabourCosts #Productivity #LabourMarket #ServicesInflation #1970s #PhillipsCurve #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MonetaryPolicyExplained Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the renewed central bank focus on the wage-price spiral in mid-2026.
