Beige Book - July 2026
Economic activity increased at a slight to moderate pace in eleven of twelve Federal Reserve Districts in late May and June, while one District reported no change. The pace of growth was quite close to that of last period, when activity expanded in ten Districts, was flat in one, and down in one. Consumer spending edged up as higher prices, particularly for fuel, dampened sales in other categories. Several Districts noted declines in spending on discretionary items or trading down to more affordable varieties. Tourism was up, with some Districts receiving a boost from World Cup visitors. Auto dealers reported little change in sales, but spending on repairs grew as consumers held onto vehicles for longer. Agricultural conditions deteriorated due to lower commodity prices, higher input costs, and tighter credit. In the energy sector, oil and gas drilling increased. Manufacturing production grew modestly to moderately in most Districts, led by stronger orders from the data center, machinery, and defense sectors. Manufacturers in several Districts said supply chain issues were more common. Construction and real estate activity increased slightly overall, with several Districts noting growth in data center building. Financial conditions were stable on net, and commercial and consumer loan volumes were both up modestly. Commercial loan quality was stable, but consumer loan quality ticked down. Transportation activity increased modestly amidst ongoing supply chain changes related to higher tariffs and the conflict in the Middle East. Overall, activity in other service industries also was up modestly, with Districts highlighting growth in health care and professional services. Social service providers were adjusting to funding declines while demand for basic supports-housing, food, health care-remained high. Contacts generally expected the economy to continue to expand in the coming months, but several Districts noted elevated uncertainty in the outlook for fuel costs.
