Lucas and Luna anchor every episode of Inflation Explained with Fexingo in the latest CPI release, producer price index, and personal consumption expenditures data, pulling real-time figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve Economic Data. They dissect how a tenth-of-a-point move in core inflation ripples through grocery bills, rent renewals, and wage negotiations. Lucas charts the historical arc of price shocks, from the 1970s oil embargo to today's shelter-cost stickiness, while Luna presses on the human impact: what a 3.4% annual inflation rate means for a household earning the median US income, for a retiree on a fixed annuity, for a small business owner adjusting menu prices. Each episode tackles a single inflation driver—used-car indexes, energy futures, medical care services—with clear definitions of terms like 'trimmed mean' and 'supercore services.' The conversation stays grounded in named cases: how Walmart's pricing power affects the PCE, how rent-stabilization policies alter CPI weights, how the Cleveland Fed's inflation nowcast differs from the official print. Lucas and Luna never simplify for drama; they treat the listener as someone who reads the earnings call transcripts and the Fed minutes but wants a sharper lens on the numbers. The show is for anyone who needs to understand inflation not as a headline but as a force that reshapes budgets, investment portfolios, and business models. What happens when the disinflation narrative stalls? How do you separate sticky inflation from base effects? #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #CostOfLiving #ConsumerPriceIndex #ProducerPriceIndex #PCE #MonetaryPolicy #WageGrowth #RentIndex #EnergyPrices #CoreInflation #EconomicData #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #InflationExplained Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Pork Prices Reveal Inflation’s Hidden Drivers

    How Pork Prices Reveal Inflation’s Hidden Drivers
    2026/06/08
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising inflation signal: the price of pork. While headline CPI has cooled, the cost of bacon and pork chops has surged over 15% year-over-year. They explore how a combination of African swine fever outbreaks overseas, higher feed costs, and labor shortages in meatpacking plants are driving the spike. They connect this to the broader story of food price inflation, which remains sticky even as other categories moderate. Lucas breaks down the role of supply chain concentration in meat processing, where four companies control over 80% of the market. Luna brings in the New York Fed survey showing household financial worries at a two-year high, linking it to how food price increases disproportionately hit lower-income households. The hosts also touch on the May jobs report expectations and what persistent food inflation means for the Fed's rate path. A focused, numbers-driven look at why your grocery bill still hurts. #PorkPrices #Inflation #FoodInflation #CPI #SupplyChain #AfricanSwineFever #Meatpacking #GroceryBills #LucasAndLuna #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CostOfLiving #FedPolicy #LaborShortage #ConsumerPrices #InflationDrivers #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Medical Supply Chain Inflation Isnt Cooling

    Why Medical Supply Chain Inflation Isnt Cooling
    2026/06/08
    Episode 38 of Inflation Explained with Fexingo digs into a stubborn inflation pocket that most people overlook: medical supplies. Lucas and Luna break down why items like surgical gloves, syringes, and IV bags are still seeing double-digit price increases even as headline CPI moderates. Drawing on the latest April CPI data (332.4 overall, but with medical commodities up over 6 percent year-over-year), they trace the problem back to reshoring bottlenecks, hospital group purchasing, and a clinic in Phoenix that saw its supply costs jump 40 percent in a single quarter. They also connect the dots to why your health insurance premiums and copays keep rising—even if the Fed has held rates steady at 3.65 percent since May. If you've wondered why a box of exam gloves now costs more than a tank of gas, this episode has the answer. #MedicalSupplyChain #Inflation #CPI #HealthCareCosts #SupplyChain #Reshoring #GroupPurchasing #HospitalCosts #MedicalSupplies #Economics #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CostOfLiving #InflationExplained #Fed #HealthInsurance #SurgicalGloves Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Why Shelter Costs Keep CPI Higher Than Headline

    Why Shelter Costs Keep CPI Higher Than Headline
    2026/06/07
    In episode 37 of Inflation Explained with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the April CPI report showing headline inflation cooling to 332.4, but shelter costs remain stubbornly elevated at 5.2% annual growth. They explore how owner's equivalent rent, apartment concessions, and the lag in BLS data create a gap between what consumers feel and what the index shows. Using Zillow and Apartment List data, they explain why rents may finally be turning—but won't show up in CPI for months. A practical episode for anyone wondering why their rent check doesn't match the government's inflation narrative. #CPI #ShelterInflation #OwnerEquivalentRent #Rent #Zillow #ApartmentList #BureauOfLaborStatistics #Fed #MonetaryPolicy #Inflation #Housing #RealEstate #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #EconomyExplained #CostOfLiving Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
