Why Core PCE Is Still High While CPI Drops
from Economic Indicators with Fexingo: GDP, CPI, PMI, and Reading the Macro Data · host Fexingo
In this episode of Economic Indicators, Lucas and Luna dig into the puzzle of the moment: headline CPI is cooling, but core PCE is still running warm. With June CPI down to 332.6 and core PCE up to 130.3, the two indicators are telling different stories about inflation. Lucas explains why the Fed leans on core PCE, how housing and services keep it sticky, and what the latest jobless claims and GDP slowdown mean for the policy path. If you've ever wondered why headline inflation and the Fed's preferred measure can diverge, this episode gives you the concrete numbers and the reasoning behind them. #CorePCE #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #FedPolicy #EconomicIndicators #GDP #JoblessClaims #Housing #ServicesInflation #MonetaryPolicy #MacroEconomics #Economics #Business #Finance #Economy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
