Economic activity expanded across most regions of the United States in recent weeks, while employment conditions remained largely steady, according to the Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book report released on Wednesday. The assessment, reported by Reuters, is unlikely to materially alter expectations for monetary policy ahead of the central bank’s policy meeting later this month. The report indicated that economic conditions improved in eight of the Federal Reserve’s 12 regional districts, with expectations for the near-term outlook leaning modestly positive. Most regions anticipate only slight to moderate growth in the coming months, suggesting continued resilience rather than acceleration in momentum.
