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 Used Car Prices Are Falling While New Cars Stay Expensive","slug":"why-used-car-prices-are-falling-while-new-cars-stay-expensive","published_at":"2026-07-19T20:04:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-economic-forecast-podcast-with-fexingo-predictions-outlooks-and-what-s-coming-next-7871824/why-used-car-prices-are-falling-while-new-cars-stay-expensive","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-0121.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-economic-forecast-podcast/episode-0121.mp3","summary":"Lucas and Luna unpack a paradox in the July 2026 economy: used car prices are dropping sharply even as new car prices remain near record highs. They trace the story through wholesale auction data, the CPI print, and shifting consumer behavior. Why are dealers sitting on more used inventory than they've had in years? And what does this divergence tell us about who can afford what in today's economy? The hosts connect this to broader signals — the drop in the core CPI, rising job openings alongside slower hiring, and whether the 'two-speed consumer' is now a permanent feature of the post-pandemic landscape. A focused, data-driven look at one corner of the inflation story. #UsedCars #Inflation #CPI #AutoIndustry #ConsumerBehavior #WholesalePrices #TwoSpeedEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicForecast #Economics #July2026 #LucasAndLuna #SupplyChain #CarPrices #CoreCPI #JOLTS #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Lucas and Luna unpack a paradox in the July 2026 economy: used car prices are dropping sharply even as new car prices remain near record highs.
