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. By the end, you'll have a sharper framework for interpret…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T12:19:18.798932+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696"},"episode":{"title":"What the Fed Sees in the New York Fed Household Survey","slug":"what-the-fed-sees-in-the-new-york-fed-household-survey","published_at":"2026-06-09T05:31:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696/what-the-fed-sees-in-the-new-york-fed-household-survey","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-federal-reserve-podcast/episode-0040.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-federal-reserve-podcast/episode-0040.mp3","summary":"Episode 40 of The Federal Reserve Podcast with Fexingo digs into the New York Fed's Survey of Consumer Expectations released June 8, 2026, which showed household financial worries at their highest since July 2022. Lucas and Luna examine what the Fed makes of the disconnect between a still-strong labor market and rising consumer anxiety. They discuss the survey's specific numbers—like the 11.5% probability of missing a minimum debt payment and the drop in year-ahead earnings growth expectations to 2.8%—and how these feed into the Fed's dual mandate. The episode also touches on the implications for the upcoming FOMC meeting, with the fed funds rate at 3.63% and core PCE still sticky at 2.8%.
