#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is a key event where members of the U.S. Federal Reserve gather to discuss and decide on monetary policy, especially interest rates. Held about eight times a year, the meeting reviews economic conditions like inflation, employment, and GDP growth. Based on this analysis, the FOMC may choose to raise, lower, or maintain interest rates to keep the economy stable. Their decisions influence borrowing costs, consumer spending, and investment. After each meeting, the Fed releases a statement summarizing their views and policy decisions, which greatly impacts global financial markets and investor confidence.
