How the Fed Weighs Slowing GDP Against Sticky Core Inflation

The Federal Reserve Podcast with Fexingo: Interest Rates, FOMC Meetings, and Monetary Policy · Jul 30, 2026 · 6m · transcript

In this episode of The Federal Reserve Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the Fed's dilemma after Q2 GDP came in at just 1.5% while core PCE inflation remains at 3.3%. They discuss how the internal divide at the FOMC is shaping expectations for the next move, and what the 10-year breakeven rate at 2.26% tells us about market sentiment. With the fed funds rate at 3.63% and the two-year yield falling below 3.7%, the hosts explore whether the economy is heading for stagflation or a soft landing, and why Singapore's surprise rate hike adds complexity to the global picture.
