Wholesale Inflation Surge What It Means for CPI
from Macro Tuesdays with Fexingo: Weekly Economic News, Policy, and Market-Moving Data · host Fexingo
In this episode of Macro Tuesdays, Lucas and Luna break down the May 2026 wholesale inflation surprise — the Producer Price Index rose 1.1% month-over-month, far above expectations, driven by a surge in energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. They explain why this matters for the consumer price index, which hit 4.2% annual inflation in May, and what it signals about the Fed's path forward. The hosts also connect the wholesale jump to the ECB's first rate hike since 2023 and discuss how persistent energy price shocks could keep inflation sticky. Tune in for a concise, data-driven look at the pipeline pressures threatening the inflation outlook. #WholesaleInflation #PPI #CPI #Inflation #EnergyPrices #IranConflict #ECB #RateHike #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #MacroEconomics #SupplyChain #ProducerPrices #ConsumerPrices #CoreInflation #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
