In 'Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo,' Lucas and Luna examine the return of an economic condition many thought buried with the 1970s: high inflation paired with stagnant growth. Each episode grounds the conversation in current data from major economies—CPI prints, GDP revisions, unemployment figures, and central bank statements—then draws historical parallels to the oil shocks, wage-price spirals, and policy missteps of the post-Bretton Woods era. Lucas, with a fountain pen in hand, traces the arc of a Minsky moment or a Volcker-style rate hike; Luna cross-references today's supply chain disruptions and labor market tightness against the archived charts spread before them. They never settle for surface-level parallel—instead, they argue about whether modern financialization changes the stagflation playbook, why the Phillips curve seems to have gone flat, and what a 'soft landing' actually requires. The listener who tunes in is someone who reads the economic indicators themselves, who knows that the misery index is not a rhetorical device, and who wants a conversation that respects the complexity of the data rather than reducing it to a single headline. By the end of each episode, you'll have a clearer map of the trade-offs policymakers face—and a sharper sense of which historical analogies are useful and which are lazy. #Stagflation #Inflation #EconomicGrowth #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #1970sEconomy #PhillipsCurve #MiseryIndex #SupplyChain #LaborMarket #CentralBanks #GDP #ConsumerPriceIndex #EconomicHistory #Macroeconomics #Business #FexingoBusiness #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Stagflation Is Reshaping the Gold Mining Industry

    How Stagflation Is Reshaping the Gold Mining Industry
    Jun 13 2026
    Gold prices have surged past $4,200 an ounce, but gold mining stocks aren't keeping pace. Lucas and Luna explore the disconnect: why miners are struggling with rising costs, supply chain bottlenecks, and labor shortages even as bullion hits record highs. They unpack the specific margin squeeze facing companies like Newmont and Barrick Gold, and what the diverging performance of gold ETFs versus mining stocks tells us about stagflation's uneven impact. Using fresh data from June 2026—including a 2.8% weekly drop in gold futures and a 1.7% gain in the GDX mining index—they examine whether this is a structural shift or a buying opportunity. If you're watching the gold rally and wondering why the miners aren't joining the party, this episode explains the paradox. #GoldMining #Stagflation #GoldPrices #Newmont #BarrickGold #MiningStocks #Inflation #SupplyChain #LaborShortage #GDX #GLD #Commodities #Economics #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GoldMiners #MarginSqueeze Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Stagflation Is Quietly Reshaping the Homeowners Insurance Market

    Stagflation Is Quietly Reshaping the Homeowners Insurance Market
    Jun 13 2026
    Episode 48 of Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna drill into the homeowners insurance market, where premiums have jumped 22% over the past year—outpacing even the general inflation rate. They unpack how persistent high inflation and slow growth are forcing insurers to reassess risk models, especially for catastrophe-prone states like Florida and California. Lucas cites a recent 4.2% CPI print and notes that construction cost inflation is a key driver, while Luna flags the uptick in job openings and what it means for affordability. The hosts compare today's landscape to the 1970s, when stagflation reshaped insurance regulation, and discuss whether the current cycle will lead to a government backstop or a private-market correction. A focused, data-rich conversation for anyone feeling the pinch at renewal time. #HomeownersInsurance #Stagflation #InsurancePremiums #Inflation #FloridaInsurance #CaliforniaInsurance #ConstructionCosts #CPI #ClimateRisk #Regulation #Economics #PropertyInsurance #Reinsurance #RiskModeling #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #InsuranceMarket Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    How Stagflation Is Reshaping the Premium Chocolate Market
    Jun 12 2026
    Episode 47 digs into a surprising casualty of stagflation: premium chocolate. With CPI at 4.2% annually and cocoa prices surging, luxury chocolate makers face a margin squeeze. Lucas and Luna examine how brands like Lindt and smaller craft producers are navigating rising ingredient costs and shifting consumer behavior. They discuss price elasticity in luxury goods, the role of shrinkflation, and whether the 'affordable luxury' tag still holds. Tied to current data—core CPI at 336.1 and PCE at 130.9—this episode offers a concrete case study in how high inflation and slow growth reshape everyday indulgences. #Stagflation #Economics #PremiumChocolate #Lindt #CocoaPrices #CPI #Inflation #LuxuryGoods #Shrinkflation #ConsumerBehavior #PriceElasticity #PCE #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChain #CraftChocolate #AffordableLuxury #MarginPressure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
