Lucas and Luna dive into the latest capacity utilization data — 76.2% in May 2026, up slightly from 76.13% — and explain why this often-overlooked metric is sending a nuanced signal about the economy. They contrast it with industrial production growth, rising job openings, and sticky core inflation to show how capacity constraints might be building beneath a seemingly steady expansion. With factory job cuts near crisis levels and the 10-year breakeven inflation rate ticking up, the hosts explore whether the Fed is caught between a tight labor market and persistent price pressures. #CapacityUtilization #IndustrialProduction #Inflation #CoreCPI #JoblessClaims #JOLTS #FedPolicy #EconomicIndicators #FactoryJobs #LaborMarket #BreakevenInflation #MacroData #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #LucasAndLuna #EconomicTrends Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
