Why the Nasdaq Is Down Five Percent While GDP Is Growing
from Economic Indicators with Fexingo: GDP, CPI, PMI, and Reading the Macro Data · host Fexingo
The S&P 500 is at 7,384 and the Nasdaq has dropped over five percent in five days, yet real GDP grew at 1.6 percent annualized in Q1 2026 and the unemployment rate is a low 4.3 percent. Lucas and Luna unpick this apparent contradiction by looking at the composition of GDP growth, the surge in job openings to 7.6 million, and what the bond market is pricing in via the ten-year yield at 4.54 percent. They explain why the stock sell-off isn't contradicting the macro data — it's reading a different signal entirely. A grounded conversation about what markets are seeing that GDP alone doesn't show. #Nasdaq #S&P500 #GDP #JOLTS #JobOpenings #BondMarket #YieldCurve #StockMarket #FedPolicy #Economics #MacroData #MarketSellOff #TenYearYield #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicIndicators #RateCut #Inflation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
