1138 ET - xxxx ET - Energy activity in the middle of the U.S. held steady in the first quarter following a steep drop in the final quarter of 2025, and future expectations rose substantially, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's quarterly survey shows. The Tenth District Energy Survey's key index of drilling and business activity comes in at 0 for the quarter, down from a fourth-quarter reading of minus 39. Readings above zero indicate expansion, while those below zero show contraction. The survey's future drilling and business activity index, which covers expectations for the next six months, rises to 25 in the quarter from minus 19 in the fourth quarter. (colin.kellaher@wsj.com)
