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
