Version 0.37 (2024-01-18 07:58:15.291000)

updates: The latest survey from the Federal Reserve's Beige Book reveals that US economic activity has remained largely unchanged from December through early January. The survey highlights concerns about U.S. political uncertainty and the impact of the approaching presidential election. The Federal Reserve is planning to begin cutting its policy rate this year after tightening economic conditions for the past two years. The survey also indicates that wage pressures are expected to ease and wage gains to fall further over the next year. The Beige Book also notes decreases in manufacturing activity and challenges in the commercial real estate sector. Office REITs experienced a sell-off, with the VanEck Office and Commercial REIT ETF declining by 3.6%. Tech stocks and the real estate sector saw notable losses. Consumers are becoming more cautious about higher prices, leading retailers to narrow profit margins and resist suppliers' attempts to raise prices. Higher interest rates have dampened auto sales and real estate deals, but the prospect of falling interest rates has generated optimism. The labor market is showing signs of cooling, which is expected to ease wage pressures. In terms of inflation, most districts reported slight or modest price increases, with steady or falling input prices. Looking ahead, there are mixed views on price pressures. The report comes after U.S. retail sales rose 0.6% in December, exceeding expectations and indicating strength in the economy.

Version 0.35 (2024-01-18 00:22:39.400000)

updates: The US economy has shown minimal change or remained unchanged since November, according to the US Federal Reserve's Beige Book. Most regions reported relative stagnation, with three showing moderate growth and one reporting a moderate decline. Consumers experienced some seasonal relief during the holidays, while the industry reduced its activity level. High interest rates continued to limit car sales and real estate transactions, but the prospect of lower interest rates provided optimism. Concerns about the office market, weakening global demand, and the 2024 political cycle contributed to economic uncertainty. Overall, companies' expectations for future growth were positive. Employment levels remained little changed, with moderate job growth in some districts and a tight labor market in two districts. Signs of a cooling labor market were observed, including a greater number of candidates and lower turnover rates. Wage pressures were expected to ease and wage growth to continue falling next year. Price growth slowed in some districts, and input values remained stable or declining. Rising insurance premiums affected most companies. Some districts expected more contained price increases next year.
