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":"Why the Fed Is Watching the Yield Curve Uninversion","slug":"why-the-fed-is-watching-the-yield-curve-uninversion-2","published_at":"2026-06-15T17:38:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-federal-reserve-podcast-with-fexingo-interest-rates-fomc-meetings-and-monetary-policy-7871696/why-the-fed-is-watching-the-yield-curve-uninversion-2","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-0054.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-federal-reserve-podcast/episode-0054.mp3","summary":"The yield curve has been inverted for over two years — the longest stretch in modern history. But in recent weeks, the 2-year and 10-year Treasury spread has narrowed to just a few basis points. On this episode of The Federal Reserve Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack what a potential uninversion means for the Fed's next move. They discuss the historical track record of curve uninversions as recession signals, why this cycle's inversion has been so stubborn, and how the current data — including a 4.47% 10-year yield and a Fed funds rate at 3.62% — is reshaping the policy debate. Plus, a look at how the ECB's recent rate hike and sticky core CPI are complicating the picture. If the curve normalizes this summer, does it mean the soft landing is real — or is it just the calm before the storm? #YieldCurve #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #TreasuryBonds #RecessionSignal #SoftLanding #Inversion #ECB #CoreCPI #BondMarket #Economics #FOMC #Inflation #CentralBanking #Macro #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"The yield curve has been inverted for over two years — the longest stretch in modern history.
