Latest / Inflation Explained with Fexingo: CPI, Prices, and the Cost of Living for Everyday People
Why Your Utility Bills Are the New Inflation Trap
Inflation feels sticky not because of eggs or flights, but because of your electric bill. We break down why utility prices are rising faster than the core CPI, driven by grid upgrades and energy transition costs that most consumers don't see coming. With the latest July data showing Core CPI at 336.8, we explore how fixed infrastructure costs are becoming a permanent feature of household budgets, making it harder for the Federal Reserve to cool demand without triggering a recession. This is Episode 184 of Inflation Explained.
