#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is set. Held eight times a year, the FOMC reviews economic indicators like inflation, employment, and growth to determine whether to raise, lower, or maintain interest rates. Decisions from the meeting influence financial markets, borrowing costs, and the overall economy. Investors and analysts closely watch the post-meeting statement and press conference for insights into future policy directions. The FOMC's primary goal is to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates through careful adjustments to the federal funds rate and other monetary tools.
