Beige Book highlights Jan 17, 2018
- Most districts cited ongoing labor market tightness
- Outlook for 2018 remains optimistic for most contacts
- Price growth was modest to moderate in most districts
- Almost all districts saw modest to moderate growth
- Firms in some districts noted increasing pricing power
Generally upbeat, but nothing really stands out to say "there's a big pickup happening". I thought we might see something to give the dollar life, but I don't see it in these headlines.
