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

By: Fexingo
Listen for free

Lucas and Luna sit down each day with the latest releases of GDP, CPI, and PMI data, reading the macro tea leaves for what they actually mean for markets, policy, and business decisions. In each episode, Lucas traces a specific indicator—say, the core PCE deflator or the ISM manufacturing index—while Luna challenges the consensus interpretation, pushing toward the second-order effects that get lost in the headline numbers. They never just report the data; they argue about its signal-to-noise ratio, its revisions history, and its predictive track record. This is a show for the analyst, the portfolio manager, the economist, or the business leader who needs to interpret economic releases faster and more skeptically than the press releases. Lucas and Luna hold each other accountable to the numbers, calling out the difference between statistical noise and genuine turning points. Each episode closes with one unresolved tension: a data point that defies easy narrative, a lagging indicator that might be about to flip, or a policy response that could scramble the forecast. If you want to know not just what the data said today, but whether it matters for your next decision, this is the conversation you need to overhear. #GDP #CPI #PMI #MacroData #EconomicIndicators #FederalReserve #InflationWatch #LaborMarket #ConsumerSpending #ManufacturingData #CentralBanking #BusinessCycle #Forecasting #DataLiteracy #FexingoBusiness #Economics #BusinessPodcast #DailyShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Jobless Claims Signal a Cooling Labor Market in 2026

    How Jobless Claims Signal a Cooling Labor Market in 2026
    Jun 29 2026
    With initial jobless claims dropping to 215,000 in late June 2026, Lucas and Luna analyze what this key weekly indicator really says about the health of the labor market. They contrast the low claims with rising unemployment insurance rolls and a 4.3 percent unemployment rate, exploring the concept of 'labor market rotation' where workers are still finding jobs but with longer gaps between them. The episode also looks at how jobless claims data compares to other indicators like JOLTS and nonfarm payrolls, and why the Fed watches these numbers closely for signs of a slowdown. Perfect for listeners who want to go beyond the headlines and understand one of the most real-time economic data points available. #JoblessClaims #LaborMarket #Unemployment #InitialClaims #ContinuingClaims #FedPolicy #EconomicIndicators #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #DataDriven #LaborRotation #MacroData #JobMarket #WeeklyClaims #NonfarmPayrolls #JOLTS #2026Economy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why the Bond Market Is Pricing Lower Inflation Than CPI Shows

    Why the Bond Market Is Pricing Lower Inflation Than CPI Shows
    Jun 28 2026
    In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a puzzle: the latest CPI print shows headline inflation at 334.0, up 0.5 percent month over month, while the 10-year breakeven inflation rate has actually ticked down to 2.20 percent. They explore what bond investors see that the CPI basket might be missing — from shelter cost lags to the disinflationary weight of global shipping disruptions. Using the Federal Reserve's preferred core PCE gauge, which hit 3.4 percent in May, they explain why markets are pricing a different inflation path than consumer surveys suggest. The hosts also touch on the fragile shipping rebound in the Strait of Hormuz and how one-off geopolitical events can distort near-term price data. A sharp, data-rich look at the gap between realized inflation and market expectations in mid-2026. #Inflation #CPI #BondMarket #BreakevenRate #CorePCE #FederalReserve #ShelterCosts #ShippingDisruption #StraitOfHormuz #TIPS #RealRates #EconomicIndicators #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroData #MarketExpectations #Disinflation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Core Inflation Hits 3.4 Percent What the Fed Sees

    Core Inflation Hits 3.4 Percent What the Fed Sees
    Jun 28 2026
    The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, core PCE, hit 3.4% in May 2026 — the highest since October 2023. Lucas and Luna dig into why this number matters more than CPI, how it contradicts other inflation signals like the 10-year breakeven rate (now at 2.20%), and what it means for the interest rate outlook. They discuss the components driving the rise — particularly services inflation — and whether the bond market's calm is justified or a warning sign. No hot takes, just a careful read of the data with specific numbers from the June 28, 2026 release. #CorePCE #Inflation #FederalReserve #InterestRates #EconomicData #PCEPriceIndex #BreakevenInflationRate #BondMarket #ServicesInflation #MonetaryPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroData #GDP #CPI #PMI #EconomicIndicators Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
