Federal Reserve Beige Book: Prices rose moderately in most regions, with tariffs and input costs as the main drivers
-
最新报道：According to Bijie.com, the Federal Reserve's Beige Book, released on September 4 (UTC+8), noted that ten districts described price increases as "modest" or "moderate," while two others reported strong increases in input costs, outpacing the modest increases in final selling prices. Almost all districts noted tariff-related price increases, with businesses in most reporting a particularly significant impact on input prices. Businesses in several districts also noted continued price increases for insurance, utilities, and technology services. While some businesses reported having passed on the full cost increases to customers, businesses in nearly all districts expressed concerns about raising prices, primarily due to increased customer price sensitivity, a lack of pricing power, and concerns about losing business. The Cleveland and Minneapolis districts specifically noted that some businesses, despite facing rising input costs, were forced to reduce prices due to competitive pressure. Most districts expected prices to continue to rise in the coming months, with three emphasizing that the pace of price increases could accelerate.
