Why The Fed Ignores Your Grocery Bill

Lucas and Luna dissect the disconnect between headline inflation and the Federal Reserve’s preferred metric. With Core PCE at 130.5 and ten-year breakeven inflation flat at 2.36 percent on October 7, 2026, they explore why policymakers focus on services over goods. Using recent data like the $105.6 billion trade deficit and sticky job openings, the hosts explain how macro indicators diverge from consumer reality. Listeners learn to read the Fed’s signal amidst noise.
