The Federal Reserve's June 2026 Beige Book reported that employment held steady across districts while inflation continued to broaden, with energy prices elevated due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The report reflects real-economy conditions across all 12 Fed districts and is a primary input into FOMC deliberations ahead of the next meeting.
For Armada's traditional repo desk, the Beige Book corroborates Logan's hawkish signaling and raises the probability that SOFR remains elevated or moves higher. This affects floating-rate repo pricing, the attractiveness of Treasury collateral at current yields, and the hedging posture of bank and dealer counterparties managing rate exposure on their balance sheets.
