In this episode of Economic Indicators with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the growing divergence between real GDP growth and consumer inflation in mid-2026. With GDP annualizing at just 1.6% while CPI hits 4.2% annually—the highest in three years—the hosts unpack what this split signals for household budgets, Federal Reserve policy, and portfolio strategy. They examine specific data points including the May CPI release, the 10-year breakeven rate, and the surprising resilience of job openings despite rising claims. Lucas explains why this macro environment feels different from the 1970s stagflation playbook, and Luna challenges whether the 'soft landing' narrative still holds. The conversation also touches on why real wages are falling even as the labor market stays tight, and what investors should watch next. A focused, number-driven look at the economy's mixed signals. #GDP #CPI #Inflation #RealGDP #ConsumerPrices #FederalReserve #Stagflation #MacroData #EconomicIndicators #JobMarket #Wages #BreakevenRate #PortfolioStrategy #SoftLanding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Investment Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
