Why Your Rent Is Still Rising Even as Inflation Cools
from Inflation Explained with Fexingo: CPI, Prices, and the Cost of Living for Everyday People · host Fexingo
In this episode of Inflation Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into why shelter inflation remains stubbornly high even as the headline CPI has moderated to 332.4. They explain the lag in how rent data is collected, why owners' equivalent rent behaves differently from market-rate leases, and what the 10-year breakeven inflation rate dropping to 2.39 percent might signal for future housing costs. The hosts break down the gap between what tenants are actually paying and what the government's surveys capture, offering concrete context for listeners wondering why their own rent hasn't gone down. A timely look at one of the most persistent components of consumer inflation. #InflationExplained #CPI #ShelterInflation #Rent #OwnersEquivalentRent #CostOfLiving #Housing #FederalReserve #KevinWarsh #BreakevenInflationRate #CoreCPI #InflationData #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #InflationPodcast #RentCrisis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
