Fed Brown Book: Temperature and rising inflation, and corporate cost pressures still in place

The United States Federal Reserve Brown Book shows a moderate overall rise in prices in the United States. Of the 12 federated federated territories, 9 reported moderate price increases, 2 were stronger, 1 was smaller and the overall increase was flat or slower than in the previous period. According to the report, the rising cost of energy, transport and raw materials pushes up the cost of inputs by enterprises, some of which attribute pressure to the effects of conflict and tariffs in the Middle East. Consumer prices continued to rise, and the profit space for some businesses was squeezed. Market perceptions about future inflation trends vary, with some predicting that inflation will remain at its current level, and others suggesting that lower fuel prices may ease pressure。
