#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is reviewed and adjusted. Held eight times a year, the meeting involves discussions among Federal Reserve officials about economic conditions, inflation, employment, and interest rates. Decisions made during FOMC meetings influence short-term interest rates and broader financial markets. Investors and economists closely monitor the FOMC’s statements for signals about future rate changes. The committee may raise, lower, or maintain the federal funds rate based on economic data. Following each meeting, a statement is released outlining policy decisions and economic projections, significantly impacting the U.S. and global economy.
