How the Fed Reads China Import Prices in July 2026
Import prices from China just hit their highest level since 2008, even as domestic inflation cools. Lucas and Luna unpack how the Fed interprets this divergence — why a rise in imported goods costs doesn't necessarily signal broader inflation, and how it complicates the rate path. They ground the discussion in the latest CPI and core PCE data, the surprise wholesale price decline, and the Fed's own Beige Book anecdotes. Plus, a brief note on how listener support keeps this show ad-free.
