Why Import Costs Are Rising Even as CPI Cools
from Economic Indicators with Fexingo: GDP, CPI, PMI, and Reading the Macro Data · host Fexingo
Episode 142 of Economic Indicators with Fexingo. With the latest CPI reading at 332.6 (down from 333.98) and core PCE still sticky at 130.1, we dig into a surprising divergence: import prices from China just hit their highest level since 2008, and oil-driven inflation fears prompted Singapore to tighten monetary policy. Lucas and Luna explore what rising input costs mean for consumer prices, margins, and the Fed's next move. Plus, the story behind businesses rebuilding inventories and why the 10-year breakeven inflation rate matters. If you've seen headline CPI fall but gas prices climb, this episode explains the disconnect. #CPI #CorePCE #ImportPrices #ChinaTrade #OilPrices #Singapore #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #FederalReserve #BusinessInventories #10YearBreakeven #EconomicIndicators #MacroData #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicPolicy #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
