[Federal Reserve Beige Book Shows Stable Employment Across Districts, Rising Inflation Rate] Jin10 News, June 4 – The Federal Reserve stated that in recent weeks, economic activity across most regions of the United States has grown at a slow to moderate pace, with employment conditions showing little change. In its latest Beige Book, the Federal Reserve noted that inflation levels in most districts are higher than those reported previously, primarily due to the impact of the Middle East war on energy prices. Since the outbreak of the Iran war, rising energy prices have sparked concerns about persistent inflation, leading more policymakers to believe they need to keep all policy options on the table, including adopting tighter monetary policies. However, many officials indicated that the current interest rate environment remains relatively favorable.
