And with the indications made in today’s Beige Book, many are concerned that these “stipulations” the Fed has put on will leave many investors disappointed with Bernanke’s speech at Jackson Hole. According to the Beige book, the economy continued to show improvement in July and early August, but cited that manufacturing activity was weaker across the country. In line with the Fed’s assessment, a revision of the U.S.’s second quarter GDP also came in better than expected, showing an economic expansion of 1.7%.
