Lucas and Luna dig into a frequently overlooked economic indicator: capacity utilization. With the latest reading at 76.2%, they explain why this number matters more now than the headline GDP growth of 2.1%. They trace how capacity utilization has historically turned before recessions, compare current levels to the pre-pandemic peak, and discuss what the gap between industrial production and capacity tells us about business investment. Along the way, they connect the dots to the yield curve steepening and the Fed's next move. A concrete guide to reading the macro tea leaves through an underappreciated lens. #CapacityUtilization #IndustrialProduction #GDP #FederalReserve #BusinessInvestment #RecessionSignals #YieldCurve #MacroData #EconomicIndicators #Manufacturing #CoreCPI #FedPolicy #Economics #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #EconomicOutlook Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
