The Iran War Cost Hitting Consumer Confidence Hard

In this episode of Recession Watch, Lucas and Luna examine how the Iran war is quietly reshaping consumer confidence and recession risk. They break down the $450 average annual hit to U.S. households from higher energy costs, what Fed officials are saying about inflation persistence, and why consumer sentiment data may be underestimating the real drag. With core inflation stuck at 3.3% and the VIX falling, the hosts debate whether markets are too complacent about geopolitical shocks. #IranWar #ConsumerConfidence #Inflation #EnergyPrices #RecessionRisk #FederalReserve #Geopolitics #CPI #VIX #GasPrices #SupplyChain #WarPremium #EconomicIndicators #SoftLanding #FOMC #CoreInflation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
