#FOMCMeeting

These meetings are held 8 times a year to discuss monetary policy, with a primary focus on the decision regarding the interest rate and the direction of the American economy.

The outcomes of the meeting influence the markets, notably the dollar, gold, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. If the interest rate is increased, gold and bitcoin often tend to decrease while the dollar strengthens. If it is maintained or lowered, risky assets may rise. Thus, investors or traders can take advantage of forecasts and results, and adjust their positions before or after the announcement based on anticipated market movements.
