Each episode opens with a live data snapshot: the current fed funds rate, Treasury yield curve slope, and the latest reading on the Fed's preferred inflation gauge (PCE). Then they argue over what the data actually means. Should the market price in a cut? Is QT about to end? Why did one regional Fed president break with the consensus? The conversation is calibrated for the listener who already knows the difference between IOER and ON RRP and wants to hear two incisive analysts—not pundits—wrestle with the nuances. Lucas brings the journalist's instinct for what matters to Main Street; Luna pushes back with the macro quant's obsession with regime odds. Together they walk the line between monetary theory and the real-world bets that portfolio managers, corporate treasurers, and independent investors are making this week. No helicopter economics. No 'Fed will save us' cheerleading. Just a clear-eyed, numbers-driven interrogation of the central bank that moves every market.

The new chair inherits an economy with sticky core CPI at 336.1 and the fed funds rate at 3.63%, while breakeven inflation is edging down. Lucas and Luna break down what Warsh's initial statements reveal about his priorities, how his views differ from Jerome Powell's, and what it means for rate policy through the rest of 2026. They examine his past writings on the neutral rate, his skepticism of forward guidance, and his focus on financial stability. Plus, why the bond market's reaction may be the truest tell. This episode offers a nuanced look at a pivotal leadership transition at the world's most powerful central bank. #KevinWarsh #FederalReserve #FOMC #InterestRates #MonetaryPolicy #FedChairman #CentralBanking #Inflation #CoreCPI #BreakevenRates #NeutralRate #BondMarket #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FedPolicy #TreasuryYields #FinancialStability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"With Kevin Warsh presiding over his first FOMC meeting as Fed chair, markets are parsing every signal.
