How the Iran Conflict Is Reshaping Your Inflation Reality

In this episode of Inflation Explained, Lucas and Luna break down the complex ways the ongoing Iran conflict is driving a persistent energy inflation that the Fed's preferred core measures miss. They discuss recent data showing the average US household paying $450 more on gas and energy, and explain why this geopolitical shock creates a 'double scar' effect on consumer psychology. The hosts examine how the Fed's focus on core CPI and PCE inflation — which exclude food and energy — may be underestimating the real pain households feel. They also explore why this energy shock is different from past oil spikes, and what it means for inflation expectations going forward. A timely deep dive into the intersection of geopolitics and the cost of living. #IranConflict #Inflation #EnergyPrices #CoreCPI #PCE #FederalReserve #GeopoliticalRisk #CostOfLiving #GasPrices #OilPrices #ConsumerPsychology #DoubleScar #InflationExpectations #MonetaryPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #InflationExplained Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
