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":"Why Import Prices from China Are Reshaping Inflation","slug":"why-import-prices-from-china-are-reshaping-inflation","published_at":"2026-07-18T07:46:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/why-import-prices-from-china-are-reshaping-inflation","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-0118.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-economic-forecast-podcast/episode-0118.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Economic Forecast Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising data point: import prices from China just hit their highest level since 2008. With consumer-facing inflation cooling but producer costs rising, they explore how this pressure is building beneath the surface of the U.S. economy. Lucas walks through the mechanics of pass-through inflation, the role of tariffs and supply chain shifts, and why a 0.3 percent drop in wholesale prices may not last. Luna questions whether the Fed is too focused on services inflation while goods-sector pressures quietly rebuild. Using July 2026 live data including the CPI dip to 332.6, core PCE at 130.1, and the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.24 percent, they connect the dots between Chinese producer costs and the outlook for consumer prices. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand where inflation is really headed next. #ImportPrices #ChinaInflation #Inflation2026 #ProducerPrices #TradePolicy #SupplyChain #FedPolicy #CPI #CorePCE #BreakevenRate #WholesaleInflation #Tariffs #GlobalTrade #Economics #EconomicForecast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode of The Economic Forecast Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising data point: import prices from China just hit their highest level s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":482,"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/why-import-prices-from-china-are-reshaping-inflation/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/why-import-prices-from-china-are-reshaping-inflation.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
