What Wholesale Deflation Means for the Fed Rate Path
from The Federal Reserve Podcast with Fexingo: Interest Rates, FOMC Meetings, and Monetary Policy · host Fexingo
In Episode 119 of The Federal Reserve Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine Wednesday's unexpected 0.3% drop in wholesale prices and what it signals for the Fed's next move. With CPI and core PCE both showing inflation stickiness in services, the hosts drill into why producer-price deflation might matter more than headline consumer numbers right now. They connect the data to the Fed's real-rate framework, discuss whether the wholesale cooling is durable or just energy noise, and explain how the June CPI print of 3.5% leaves room for a September hold. A fresh angle on the disinflation debate without rehashing prior episodes. #WholesalePrices #ProducerPriceIndex #FedRatePath #Inflation #Deflation #MonetaryPolicy #FOMC #CPI #CorePCE #RealRates #EnergyPrices #Disinflation #Economics #FederalReserve #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #InterestRates Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
