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 Job Openings Are Growing While Hiring Slows","slug":"why-job-openings-are-growing-while-hiring-slows","published_at":"2026-07-19T07:49:48+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/why-job-openings-are-growing-while-hiring-slows","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-0120.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-economic-forecast-podcast/episode-0120.mp3","summary":"The latest JOLTS data shows job openings ticking up to 7.6 million, but hiring rates and quits are barely moving. Lucas and Luna dig into what this divergence means for labor market heat and Fed policy. They explore whether employers are posting phantom roles, why workers are staying put, and how a rising unemployment rate alongside more vacancies signals a market in transition. Specific data from May 2026 and comparisons to 2019 and 2023 ground the conversation, with a look at how wage growth is responding. If you've heard 'the labor market is strong' and felt something doesn't add up, this episode connects the dots. #JOLTS #JobOpenings #LaborMarket #Unemployment #Hiring #QuitsRate #FedPolicy #WageGrowth #EconomicSlowdown #WorkerConfidence #PhantomJobs #EmploymentReport #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #EconomicForecast #Podcast #LaborEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"The latest JOLTS data shows job openings ticking up to 7.6 million, but hiring rates and quits are barely moving.
