Podcasts about Beige Book

The Fed says it's “flying blind,” but somehow keeps reaching for the autopilot. In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris, Saied, and Rajeil break down the latest 25-basis-point rate cut and the confusing logic behind Jerome Powell's “data-driven” decision-making... made without, well… the data. From the Beige Book to balance-sheet shrinkage (and yes, the jokes write themselves), the guys dissect how the Fed's moves are shaping jobs, mortgages, and the markets. All while Powell looks like he's literally in bed with A.I.➡️ Picture J.P. himself, post-press conference, lounging in a robe, cigarette in hand, with a grinning robot by his side. It's the perfect metaphor for an economy seduced by artificial intelligence and easy money. Meanwhile the rest of us wonder who's really in control. The team dives into the absurdity, the economics, and the existential dread of our new robot overlords, all with the wit, sarcasm, and brutal honesty only The Higher Standard can deliver.

Tariffs are costing companies $1.2 trillion — and most of that is ending up in your grocery cart, your tech gadgets, and your bills.

In today's episode of The Daily Windup, we break down what the latest Federal Reserve Beige Book is really saying — and why it's sending a chilling warning most investors are ignoring. According to the Fed's own field reports, economic activity has “declined slightly” across three-quarters of the U.S., with only a handful of districts showing modest growth. The tone of this Beige Book is weaker than December 2007 — the start of the Great Recession. Even the Fed's internal staff now estimates a 50% chance of recession, while the market continues to price in 0% risk. In short: the data is flashing red, but Wall Street's acting like it's business as usual. Key Takeaways: The Fed's Beige Book reveals that ¾ of the U.S. economy is stagnating or contracting in real time. The report's tone is weaker than the Beige Book from the start of the 2008 crisis. Even the Fed staff pegs recession odds at 50%, yet the market is still pricing in zero risk.

In this episode, we dissect the latest Beige Book, which paints an increasingly uneven portrait of the American economy. Reports from the Federal Reserve's districts point to softening retail demand, particularly among lower- and middle-income households, and to mounting strains in sectors such as agriculture, energy and transportation. We also examine the slide in the shares of business development companies—a bellwether for credit conditions in the lower reaches of corporate America—and the mounting allegations of fraud surrounding Zions Bank and Western Alliance. Together, these developments suggest that financial stress is spreading beyond the obvious fault lines.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we dig into one of the biggest myths floating around right now — that the U.S. economy has somehow become recession-proof. Despite headlines saying everything's fine, the hard data tells a different story: real GDP has dropped in two of the last three months, growth has fallen from 3.2% to just 1.3%, and both soft and hard data are flashing warning signs. Yet, the market's still acting like the party never ends. We break down what the Fed's Beige Book reveals, why the numbers don't lie, and what every business owner and government contractor should be preparing for right now. Key Takeaways: GDP growth has fallen from 3.2% to 1.3%, showing the economy is slowing — not stabilizing. Soft data is finally morphing into hard data weakness, signaling a potential recession ahead. The Fed's Beige Book is a must-read for anyone tracking real economic health across sectors. Learn more: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ https://govcongiants.org/ 

Kevin covered the following stories: Due to the Government (Schumer) Shutdown, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs released their individual estimates of Weekly Jobless Claims and the number of people receiving unemployment benefits after the initial week; 5 more Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) have been removed from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration's registered devices list; last week the Federal Reserve released their periodic Beige Book report; Kevin has the details, digs through the data, puts the information into historical perspective and offers his insights and a few opinions.

In this episode, we dig into whether there's more downside ahead or if the worst is now behind us following the leverage flush on October 10. We discuss how elevated altcoin open interest set up cascading liquidations and why the reset cleans up positioning but doesn't guarantee direction. Flows remain mixed with limited BTC dip‑buying, a concentrated ETH bid, and some ETF outflows—so we prefer reactive over anticipatory positioning until breadth improves. Finally, a growing privacy theme centers on Zcash, with momentum holding even through the drawdown. Into next week, a 25bps Fed cut is the base case, though a dovish Beige Book is increasing the odds of the board front loading the easing cycle into early next year.Speakers:David Duong, CFA - Global Head of Investment ResearchGeorg Toropov - Senior CES Sales TraderColin Basco - Research Associate Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The ongoing government shutdown delayed updates of the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index, weekly unemployment claims, and retail sales. Still, there was plenty to cover from this week, including the potential impact on the banking sector amid emerging credit concerns, the strength and state of the consumer, recent earnings reports, a dip in oil prices, and the outlook for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy for the remainder of the year and in 2026 once a new Chair is selected. Speakers:Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment StrategyGeorge Mateyo, Chief Investment OfficerStephen Hoedt, Head of EquitiesRajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income 01:35 – The National Federation of Independent Business' Small Business Optimism Index for the month of September fell two points to 98.8, but remains above the historical average. Conversely, the Uncertainty Index rose to 100 – the fourth highest level in 51 years.02:21 – The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report showed little change in overall economic activity, with some districts reporting slight to modest growth and others noting slight softening.04:20 – The earnings reports that have been released thus far for the third quarter paint a favorable picture of a robust stock market, despite signs of softening consumer spending and an uptick in volatility and uncertainty.11:57 – Investors moved toward safe haven assets amid some overall economic softening and news of emerging credit risk.12:38 – Fed Chair Powell's recent comments point towards a move away from quantitative tightening, an end to the balance sheet runoff in the next few months, and likely two more rate cuts in 2025.15:31 – As the government shutdown continues to fuel confusion, volatility, and uncertainty, our advice to investors is to maintain a long-term perspective with a diversified portfolio and avoiding rash decisions based on dramatic news and short-term fluctuations. Additional ResourcesRead: Key Questions: What Does MAHA Mean for Healthcare and Consumer Staples Companies? Key Questions | Key Private BankSubscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletterWeekly Investment BriefFollow us on LinkedIn

Send us a textARM Ascends, Oil Drifts, Queens EnduresI open on macro static and shutdown fog, a strange steadiness where the market beat goes on. The Beige Book whispers fractures, three Fed districts up, five flat, four softening, a recalibration more than a roar. The feature turns to ARM, where the data center bottleneck is power, not code. ARM sells the blueprint, cutting CPU energy use perhaps by half, and the live question is simple: can it win 50 percent of data center CPUs. Then energy's riddle: oil sits near $56, where it was in 2005, with about 1.5 trillion barrels of proven reserves setting the rough scale. I close with Queens County, a Tony Soprano thrift that became my acid test and first great trade, the name fades, but the fuse remains.If this hit the mark, tap 5

The Federal Reserve's Beige Book of economic anecdotes was not affected by the absence of a functioning government. There was evidence of prices reacting to trade tariffs, and a sense of labor market fragility. However, it is possible that elements of political partisanship are being captured in some of the reported concerns.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news inflation is getting entrenched in the US and policymakers are starting to look away from the threat under political pressure.But first, US mortgage applications fell for a third consecutive week with both refinance and new home applications decreasing. This came even though benchmark 30 year mortgage rates fell too. But the overall activity level is significantly higher than at this time last year.In New York state, factories there reported that their new order levels stopped falling. And they shipped more in the past month. That brought a good rebound in the New York Fed's Empire factory survey in October, making back September's drop and almost back to the August levels. One of the reasons respondents feel better about the situation is that their price increases are sticking and they are absorbing less of their tariff-tax cost increases.Supporting that are two private CPI tracking services who say that consumer prices picked up even more in September, one even suggesting CPI inflation ran at over +6% in September.And that inflation is rising is confirmed in the October Beige Book release today by the Fed. They noted tariff-induced costs were reported in all districts, as input costs increased at a faster pace due to both these higher import costs and the higher cost of services. Overall, they say American economic activity changed little on balance since the previous report, with three Districts reporting slight to modest growth in activity, five reporting no change, and four noting a slight softening. Consumer spending, particularly on retail goods, inched down in recent weeks.Across the Pacific, China said its consumer prices stayed in mild deflation, now running -0.3% lower in September from a year ago. Beef and lamb prices are rising now, but milk prices are still falling.Meanwhile Chinese producer prices, already in moderate deflation, eased back to a -2.3% decrease, from August's -2.9%.China also released its monthly new yuan loan data overnight. They came in at almost ¥1.3 tln, double the unusually low August level but still short of the almost ¥1.5 tln expected. September's get a seasonal boost normally and those factors were evident this year too. But still, the latest level was lower than the ¥1.6 tln in September 2024. Credit demand remains slightly subdued.India said its September exports rose +6.1% to US$36.4 bln, building on the August increase. Their exports to the US are only 20% of all their exports and less than half of those are caught up in punitive tariff-taxes. And even among those, it is the Americans paying, it seems.The EU said their industrial production rose again August from a year ago. Although the rise was a modest +1.1% from a year ago, that is an inflation-adjusted 'real' gain. In fact, their have reported gains on that basis for the past seven consecutive months which is unusual for them. For the prior 38 months they consistently reported year-on-year decreases. It's a turn up they will take.In Australia, the Westpac-Melbourne Institute Leading Index for Q3-2025 suggests that the Australian economy is only expanding at the long term trend pace, but the pace is picking up marginally. They expect 2025 to come in below trend, but 2026 to edge up to trend levels.And Australia fell almost -66,000 homes short in the year to June of the aspirational +240,000 new homes built needed to the Government's target of 1.2 million new homes in the five years to 2029. That's a -27% shortfall in year one, not a great start because it is actually the weakest annual rise in three years. A shortfall like this will underpin prices for existing houses and make housing sharply less affordable.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.05% and up +2 bps from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$4196/oz, up +US$52 from yesterday.American oil prices are little-changed at just under US$58.50/bbl, with the international Brent price now just over US$62/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just on 57.2 USc, essentially unchanged from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -320 bps at 87.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 49.2 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 61.7, down -10 bps from yesterday. Also, see this.The bitcoin price starts today at US$110.890 and down another -1.5% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just over +/- 1.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Yara Cordeiro e Victor Ary debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o ambiente foi marcado por instabilidade política: no Japão, a liderança indicada pelo partido governista, defensora de políticas expansionistas, enfrenta crise na coalizão e risco de novas eleições. Na França, o primeiro-ministro renunciou um mês após assumir o cargo, reforçando a percepção de fragilidade política e dificuldade de avanço das reformas fiscais. Nos EUA, o impasse sobre o orçamento persiste com o shutdown, limitando a divulgação de dados econômicos, mas surgiram sinais iniciais de possível acordo. A tensão com a China aumentou após novas sanções comerciais, levando o Trump a ameaçar cancelar o encontro com Xi Jinping e aumentar dramaticamente as tarifas impostas. Foi anunciado cessar-fogo entre Israel e Hamas. No Brasil, o principal destaque foi o IPCA de setembro: o headline veio um pouco abaixo do esperado, com surpresa baixista relativamente disseminada nos núcleos. A pesquisa Genial/Quaest apontou melhora na avaliação do governo e mostrou enfraquecimento do Tarcísio como sucessor da direita. No campo político, vendeu o prazo para aprovação da MP 1.303, que compensaria parte do aumento do IOF, o que foi visto como uma derrota relevante para o governo e expôs dificuldades de articulação na Câmara.  No mercado de crédito, houve forte estresse nos bonds da Raízen por uma expectativa que a companhia vá perder o grau de investimento. Apesar disso, o impacto no mercado local foi limitado. Na semana, os índices de crédito tiveram abertura pontual de spreads, com fluxo de captação ainda positivo, mas com volume menor no secundário. Nos EUA, os juros fecharam entre 5 e 10 bps, e as bolsas tiveram desempenho negativo (S&P 500 -2,43%). No Brasil, o Ibovespa caiu 2,44% e o real se desvalorizou 3,33%. Na próxima semana, atenção para PMS e PMC no Brasil, possível evolução da negociação tarifária entre Brasil e EUA, balança comercial chinesa, Beige Book nos EUA e a última rodada de falas do Fed antes do período de silêncio. Não deixe de conferir!

Carol Schleif is looking forward to the Beige Book report to gauge economic conditions. She notes that gold, a traditional hedge, is hitting new highs even as the market is, and what could be behind the unusual move. She likes investments in construction, energy and healthcare and sees robust demand for deals. She's urging clients to “trim where it's appropriate” and making sure they have the cash they'll need for the next few years.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Beef is getting more expensive, and it doesn't look as though that's going to change any time soon. That's the view of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, which wrote in its Beige Book entry this month that the trend of rising beef prices continues. There's solid demand for beef, but falling supply, as production decreases. Ranchers are making more per cow, but their costs are rising. We speak with a rancher in Wyoming to learn what high beef prices mean for him and other ranchers. Related episodes: What happened to US farmers during the last trade war How USAID cuts hurt American farmers For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

After last week's pre-recorded interview, there's plenty in the financial markets to unpack—from the muted moves during the holiday-shortened week to the latest ISM Manufacturing Index and the Fed's Beige Book. We break down two weeks of market action and the economic data you don't want to miss.The NFL is back—and so is big business as the 2025–2026 season kicks off. With team valuations up 25% year-over-year to an average of $6.5 billion as of 2024, and the Dallas Cowboys setting a new record, we're looking at the dollars behind the game. From Fantasy Football to futures contracts on who will win, there's money to be made on and off the field—which raises the question: could NFL teams one day show up in your 401(k)?On the topic of football, the buzz isn't only on the field. The engagement between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce takes the spotlight and they open the door to a financial conversation that goes far beyond celebrity gossip: prenuptial agreements. With Swift's billion-dollar empire and Kelce's multimillion-dollar career, the question isn't about romance, it's about protection. We'll dig into what prenups can do, why they're not just for the ultra-wealthy, and how couples can approach these conversations without derailing the love story.After the break, we dig into the future of U.S. capitalism. Is Washington becoming Wall Street's biggest investor? With a 15% stake in MP Materials and nearly 10% in Intel, the government is taking positions in the same companies citizens invest in. We explore what this means for free-market capitalism, efforts to secure supply chains, and whether bipartisan disillusionment with globalization is reshaping America's economic playbook.And speaking of government butting into business—it's reported that Trump personally called up Cracker Barrel, urging them to revert their logo after backlash over its redesign. We'll discuss the misstep and look at other companies that have made major branding blunders.Henssler Money Talks — September 6, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 36Timestamps and Chapters4:46: What's Driving the Markets14:27: Gridiron Gold26:47: Love Songs to Legal Clauses36:24:  Sam's New Portfolio52:35: Biscuits to BacklashFollow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup  “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial. Sign up for the Money Talks Newsletter: https://www.henssler.com/newsletters/

The St. Louis Fed's Matuschka Lindo Briggs, senior vice president and regional executive of the Little Rock Branch, and Charles Gascon, economist and research officer, discuss economic insights from the latest Beige Book release highlighting the Arkansas region and the Eighth District.

Chuck Gascon, Senior Economist in the Research Division at the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, joins Megan Lynch in-studio following the release of the Beige Book.

Het is een traditie: enkele weken voordat het rentecomité van de Fed bij elkaar komt, verschijnt het Beige Book, een kwalitatief rapport over het reilen en zeilen van de Amerikaanse economie. Het is een verslag van de twaalf regionale centrale banken, gebaseerd op gesprekken met onder andere het bedrijfsleven, ondernemers en economen. ‘Maar dat verslag beschrijft nu niet veel goeds’, zegt macro-econoom Edin Mujagic. Als je naar die spiegel van de Amerikaanse economie kijkt, wat zie je dan? Niet veel goeds. De meeste districten melden weinig of geen verandering in de economische activiteit, en vier districten zelfs een lichte daling. Vrij vertaald: de Amerikaanse economie groeit nog wel, maar de vaart is eruit. En dat ligt eigenlijk aan iets waarvan je juist hoopt dat het daar níet aan ligt: de consumptie. Dat is de belangrijkste motor van de Amerikaanse economie. Maar overal klinkt het geluid dat consumenten minder uitgeven dan we de afgelopen jaren gewend waren.

In deze aflevering hoor je alles over de bijeenkomst van de Coalition of the Willing. Het militaire plan voor een troepenmacht die de veiligheid van Oekraïne moet garanderen is klaar. Zo bevestigt demissionair minister Ruben Brekelmans van Defensie. Maar er zijn nog wel openstaande vraagstukken. NAVO-chef Mark Rutte rekent op helderheid over wat de landen gezamenlijk kunnen leveren. Ook hoor je het laatste nieuws over het ongeluk met een kabeltram in Lissabon waarbij 15 mensen om het leven zijn gekomen en het gaat niet goed met de Amerikaanse economie. Dat blijkt uit het Beige Book van de Federal Reserve.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Treasury Sec Bessent will start to interview candidates for the role as Fed Chair on Friday. The yield curve is showing signs of steepening with the 10-year Treasury note yield hovering around 4.28% to 4.30%.

When it comes to today's trading action, Charles Schwab's Kathy Jones attributes part of the "choppy" day to a rise in layoffs seen in the JOLTS report. Additionally, she talks about how the Beige Book shook the bond market as investors saw potential for "stagnant or slower growth." Joe Mazzola adds how the price action is pulling investors back toward the Mag 7. He discusses sector performance in markets and how slowing economic data attributes to the rotation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

De nieuwe beursweek is in aantocht. Komende week komen er niet zoveel bedrijfscijfers meer, want het cijferseizoen loopt op zijn einde. Er komen wél een hoop macro-economische cijfers aan. Een Nederlands inflatiecijfer bijvoorbeeld, en het Beige Book van de Fed, waarin de Amerikaanse centrale bank deelt hoe het met de Amerikaanse economie gaat. Verder komen er inkoopmanagersindexen uit verschillende delen van de wereld. Dat klinkt een beetje saai, toch gaat Bob Homan van ING Investment Office ze met bovengemiddelde interesse lezen. Met die cijfers kun je namelijk een beetje de toekomst voorspellen, zegt hij. Inkoopmanagers kopen voor een paar maanden vooruit in, en doen daarmee ook een voorspelling van de economie tegen die tijd. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd! Iedere week vertelt een vriend van de show waar jouw focus moet liggen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Rosenberg, founder and president of Rosenberg Research, believes recession odds are higher than 2022 despite nobody expecting one, pointing to Fed staff forecasting 50% recession probability and the most downbeat Beige Book since 1980. Rosenberg criticizes Powell for calling the economy "solid" while real GDP has been negative sequentially in 2 of the past 3 months and survey data suggests 1% contraction. He highlights a major market dichotomy with stocks up 24% while the dollar is in an 11% bear market, suggesting something is fundamentally wrong. The housing market faces a negative wealth effect as supply-demand gaps widen and prices start cracking.Sponsors: Monetary Metals: https://monetary-metals.com/julia⁠ Kalshi: ⁠https://kalshi.com/julia Links: https://rosenbergresearch.com/https://x.com/EconguyRosieTimestamps: 00:01 - Introduction: Dave Rosenberg, founder and president of Rosenberg Research 00:49 - "Meat grinder roller coaster ride" - elevated policy uncertainty02:15 - Tail risks removed: no trade war, regional conflict, or fiscal cliff05:35 - S&P 500 multiple expansion: 18 to 22 in three months (4 sigma event) 08:30 - Housing market in "huge state of disarray" - prices starting to crack11:22 - Survey data consistent with economy contracting at 1% annual rate13:20 - Real GDP negative sequentially in 2 of past 3 months 15:24 - Nobody talking about recession despite higher odds than 202218:18 - Recession probabilities are binary - "zero or 100, not 60% pregnant" 21:18 - Mistakes from 2022-2023: didn't anticipate fiscal stimulus scale25:34 - Big beautiful bill not stimulative - just extending status quo 28:20 - Housing supply-demand gap widening, negative wealth effect coming32:42 - S&P 500 became growth index, small caps still in correction 36:00 - Fed staff said recession odds equal to GDP baseline forecast (50%)38:56 - Beige book: economy declining slightly, more downbeat than 200744:32 - Powell calling economy "solid" despite weak data - credibility issue48:04 - Fed damaged by "transitory" mistake, protecting legacy 55:17 - Next Fed Chair speculation: wants someone he can "push around"59:04 - US dollar down 11% in bear market while stocks up 24% 01:04:13 - Closing: importance of liquidity and diversification
