The Recession Signal Hidden in Trucking Freight Volumes

from Recession Watch with Fexingo: Economic Cycles, Indicators, and What Slowdowns Mean · host Fexingo

Episode 28 of Recession Watch with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dig into the Cass Freight Index, which just hit its lowest reading since the pandemic recovery began in 2021. While job openings surged and the VIX is calm, trucking volumes have declined for three straight months. The hosts explore why freight is a leading indicator, how the Iran war energy costs are squeezing logistics margins, and what this divergence between soft data and hard data might mean for the second half of 2026. No clickbait, just the numbers that matter. #RecessionWatch #EconomicIndicators #FreightRecession #CassFreightIndex #Trucking #SupplyChain #IranWar #EnergyCosts #Inflation2026 #JobOpenings #VIX #SoftLanding #HardData #LeadingIndicators #Logistics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
