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,

Why Core Services Inflation Is The Real Stagflation Trap
Sep 13, 202612 minS4
Inflation numbers have been stuck above the Fed's two percent target for years, but the real danger isn't goods prices—it is the sticky cost of services. With core CPI holding at three hundred thirty-seven point eight in August and real GDP growth slowing to one point five percent, we are seeing a classic wage-price squeeze. Lucas and Luna break down why shelter costs, healthcare, and legal fees refuse to drop even as consumer demand weakens. This episode explains how the 'services' component of inflation behaves differently from commodities, creating a policy trap where cutting rates risks reigniting price hikes, while keeping them high deepens the recessionary drag on jobs and business investment. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Stagflation #CoreInflation #ServicesSector #CPIReport #FederalReserve #WageGrowth #ShelterCosts #EconomicPolicy #RecessionRisk #LaborMarket #PriceStickiness #MonetaryPolicy #ConsumerSpending #RealGDP #Economics #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
With core inflation stubbornly above three percent and real wage growth lagging, the American consumer is facing a squeeze that goes beyond simple price hikes. This episode examines how supply chain bottlenecks and sticky service costs are creating a new normal for household budgets. We analyze the latest CPI data from August 2026, exploring why grocery prices remain elevated despite falling commodity costs, and what this means for personal finance strategies heading into the fall quarter. #StagflationEconomics #CPIInflationData #RealWageGrowth #ConsumerSpending #GroceryPrices #SupplyChainBottlenecks #ServiceInflation #HouseholdBudgets #FederalReservePolicy #EconomicOutlook2026 #CorePCEIndex #UnemploymentRate #CostOfLivingCrisis #PersonalFinanceTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLunaShow #EconomicsExplained Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Stagflation isn't just about rising prices and flat growth; it's about the structural trap of housing costs. With core CPI holding at 337.8 in August 2026 and real GDP growth slowing to one point five percent, the traditional tools for breaking inflation are failing because rent and shelter costs move differently than goods. Lucas and Luna break down why the lag in rental data is creating a policy blind spot, how wage stagnation at thirty-seven dollars an hour is squeezing discretionary spending, and what this means for the Fed's next interest rate decision. If you've felt like your paycheck doesn't stretch as far despite stable employment numbers, this episode explains the mechanics behind that feeling. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Stagflation #HousingMarket #RentalCrisis #InflationData #CoreCPI #FederalReserve #InterestRates #ShelterCosts #RealGDP #WageGrowth #ConsumerSpending #MonetaryPolicy #September2026 #Macroeconomics #FinancialLiteracy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

Lucas and Luna examine how the escalating U.S.-Canada trade war is fueling stagflationary pressures in September 2026. With import bans on Canadian goods and retaliatory tariffs taking effect, the pair analyzes how supply chain disruptions are pushing prices higher while growth stalls. They look at specific data from July CPI readings and August payroll figures to see if this geopolitical friction is tipping the scales toward a harder economic landing. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsShow #Stagflation2026 #USCanadaTradeWar #CPIData #SupplyChainDisruption #InflationPressure #TariffImpact #GlobalTrade #EconomicGrowth #ConsumerPrices #FederalReserve #ImportBans #RetaliatoryTariffs #CoreInflation #LaborMarket #Macroeconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
