In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into the May 2026 wholesale inflation report that showed a 1.1 percent monthly jump, far above expectations. They explore how surging energy costs, driven by the Iran conflict, are feeding through to producer prices and what this means for future consumer inflation. The hosts connect yesterday's PPI data to the broader economic picture: the 10-year breakeven rate is actually falling, suggesting markets expect this spike to be temporary. But with the ECB hiking rates for the first time since 2023 and U.S. consumer prices running at 4.2 percent annually, is the Fed really done? Lucas and Luna discuss the pipeline from wholesale to retail, the role of energy, and whether businesses can keep absorbing costs. A focused, data-rich conversation for anyone trying to read the macro tea leaves in real time. #WholesaleInflation #PPI #EnergyPrices #IranConflict #ProducerPrices #Inflation #ECBHike #BreakevenRate #CPI #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #SupplyChain #EconomicIndicators #MacroData #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Economics #InflationExpectations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
