from Inflation Explained with Fexingo: CPI, Prices, and the Cost of Living for Everyday People · host Fexingo
The latest CPI dropped to 332.6, but the Fed's preferred PCE gauge ticked up to 131.5. Lucas and Luna break down the divergence between these two inflation measures, explaining why import prices from China at their highest since 2008 are pushing PCE higher. They discuss what this means for the Fed's rate path at 3.63% and why your personal inflation experience may differ from official numbers. A nuanced look at the data behind the headlines. #Economics #Inflation #CPI #PCE #FederalReserve #InterestRates #ImportPrices #ChinaTariffs #CostOfLiving #MonetaryPolicy #FedFundsRate #CorePCE #BreakevenInflation #ConsumerPrices #Tariffs #Warsh #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
