Why the Fed Is Watching Wholesale Prices Deflate
from The Federal Reserve Podcast with Fexingo: Interest Rates, FOMC Meetings, and Monetary Policy · host Fexingo
Episode 118 of The Federal Reserve Podcast explores why the Fed is closely monitoring the unexpected decline in wholesale prices. Lucas and Luna discuss the 0.3% drop in the Producer Price Index for June 2026, driven by a sharp fall in gasoline prices, and what this signals for future Fed rate decisions. They connect this to the latest CPI data showing 3.5% annual inflation, and examine how disinflation in the pipeline could ease pressure on the Fed, even as geopolitical risks and services inflation linger. Using specific numbers and real-time economic indicators, they break down why wholesale deflation might be the most important Fed signal right now. #FederalReserve #Inflation #WholesalePrices #PPI #CPI #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #FOMC #Economics #Business #Finance #Disinflation #GasolinePrices #CoreCPI #TenYearBreakeven #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicData Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
