#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, held eight times annually, is a critical event where the Federal Reserve sets U.S. monetary policy. Comprising twelve members, including seven Federal Reserve Board governors and five Reserve Bank presidents, the FOMC evaluates economic conditions, inflation, and employment. Key decisions include adjusting the federal funds rate, influencing borrowing costs and economic activity. Markets closely watch FOMC statements and minutes for clues on future policy moves. Recent meetings have focused on balancing inflation control with growth, amid global uncertainties. These decisions impact asset prices, including Bitcoin, as investors assess monetary policy’s economic effects.
