#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is determined. Held eight times a year, the FOMC evaluates economic conditions and decides whether to adjust the federal funds rate. This interest rate influences borrowing costs, consumer spending, and inflation. During each meeting, members analyze data on employment, inflation, and GDP to guide decisions. The outcomes, including potential rate hikes or cuts, significantly impact global financial markets. A statement is released post-meeting, followed by a press conference to provide insights. Investors closely monitor FOMC meetings for guidance on future economic and policy directions.
