Why the PCE and CPI Gap Is Widening Again in 2026

What this episode covers

In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the growing divergence between the PCE price index and CPI. With core PCE hitting 3.4% in May 2026 — the highest since October 2023 — they explore why the Fed’s preferred gauge is running hotter than CPI, what components are driving the gap, and what it means for monetary policy. They break down the role of healthcare costs, portfolio management services, and the methodological differences that make PCE more volatile. If you’ve been confused by conflicting inflation headlines, this episode gives you the framework to understand which number matters and why. #PCE #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #CorePCE #CoreCPI #MonetaryPolicy #Economics #EconomicIndicators #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InflationGap #HealthcareCosts #PortfolioManagement #May2026 #MacroData #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
