Beige Book - Federal Reserve Board; Two Wednesdays before every FOMC meeting, 8 times per year, 2:15pm EST. Beige book is the commonly used term for the Fed report entitled: "Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions by Federal Reserve District". It is published just before the FOMC meeting on interest rates and is used to inform the members on changes in the economy since the last meeting. This report is published eight times per year. The Beige Book isn't considered to be a big market mover. It is a gauge on the strength of the economy and not a commentary on the views of Fed members. Occasionally it can move markets if the findings are a big surprise from analyst expectations.
