#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) holds eight scheduled meetings annually to assess economic and financial conditions and determine the appropriate stance of monetary policy. These meetings are closely watched by global markets as decisions on interest rates and other policy tools can significantly impact borrowing costs, inflation, and economic growth.

Currently, the FOMC is meeting on May 6-7, 2025. While a rate change is widely unexpected, the market will be keenly focused on the post-meeting statement and Chair Powell's press conference for any hints about future policy direction, especially in light of recent economic data and persistent inflation. The minutes of this meeting will be released on May 28, providing further insights into the Committee's discussions.
