They don't trade in headlines or market chatter. Instead, they walk through the actual data releases—CPI prints, payroll reports, PMI surveys, central-bank statements—and debate what the numbers mean for investors, business leaders, and policymakers. Lucas, the lead, draws on a journalist's instinct for what matters; Luna, the engaged interlocutor, pushes back with the skepticism of a veteran analyst. Together they dissect fan-of-possibilities projections from the Fed and the IMF, weigh the odds of recession versus soft landing, and trace how shifts in fiscal policy ripple through bond markets, currencies, and capital flows. The listener is someone who already knows the difference between a basis point and a percentage point, who reads central-bank minutes for fun, and who wants a conversation that treats macroeconomics as a discipline—not a spectator sport. Each episode leaves you with one specific question: given what we know today, which of those branching forecast paths is most likely, and why? #Macroeconomics #FederalRes…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T16:18:28.846810+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824"},"episode":{"title":"Used Car Deflation Signals Consumer Demand Collapse","slug":"used-car-deflation-signals-consumer-demand-collapse","published_at":"2026-07-22T20:25:34+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/used-car-deflation-signals-consumer-demand-collapse","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-economic-forecast-podcast/episode-0127.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-economic-forecast-podcast/episode-0127.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Economic Forecast Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack a surprising divergence in July 2026: used car prices are falling at their fastest pace in three years, even as new cars remain stubbornly expensive. The hosts dig into the data—CPI components, the Manheim Used Vehicle Index, and consumer credit trends—to explain what this tells us about household balance sheets and the broader economy. They explore how pandemic-era supply distortions, shifting interest rates, and changing buyer psychology are reshaping the auto market. Along the way, they connect the used car story to the Fed's next move, the health of the consumer, and what it might mean for the upcoming GDP print. A focused, data-rich conversation for anyone trying to read the economic tea leaves in a confusing mid-2026 landscape. #UsedCars #Inflation #ConsumerSpending #AutoIndustry #FederalReserve #CPI #ManheimIndex #Deflation #SupplyChain #InterestRates #EconomicForecast #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #RecessionSignals #HouseholdDebt #July2026 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Economic Forecast Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack a surprising divergence in July 2026: used car prices are falling at their fastest…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":427,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/episodes/used-car-deflation-signals-consumer-demand-collapse/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/used-car-deflation-signals-consumer-demand-collapse.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
