Why Energy Inflation Is Hitting Households Harder Than Headlines

from The Economic Forecast Podcast with Fexingo: Predictions, Outlooks, and What's Coming Next · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dig into the latest data showing core inflation at 3.3% and the impact of the Iran conflict on energy costs, which are costing the average U.S. household an extra $450 annually. They explore why energy inflation is more persistent than expected, how it feeds into consumer sentiment despite a strong labor market, and what this means for the Fed's policy path. A breakdown of the disconnect between official inflation metrics and real-world pain at the pump. #Inflation #EnergyInflation #FedPolicy #IranConflict #ConsumerSentiment #CoreInflation #GasPrices #PCE #LaborMarket #EconomicForecast #Podcast #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GeopoliticalRisk #SupplyShock #MonetaryPolicy #CostOfLiving Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
