from Economic Indicators with Fexingo: GDP, CPI, PMI, and Reading the Macro Data · host Fexingo

In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna break down why the PCE price index — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — is diverging from CPI in 2026. With PCE at 130.9 and core PCE at 129.6 in April, the hosts explain how the composition and weighting differences create a more nuanced inflation picture. They also discuss what the 10-year breakeven rate's drop to 2.25 percent signals about market expectations, and why investors should watch PCE for policy signals. A must-listen for anyone trying to read the macro tea leaves. #PCEPriceIndex #CorePCE #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #MacroData #10YearBreakeven #MonetaryPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicIndicators #GDP #PriceStability #InflationExpectations #PersonalConsumptionExpenditures #MarketSignals #Investing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
