#FOMCMeeting The FOMC meeting (Federal Open Market Committee) is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is discussed and set. Held eight times a year, it involves Federal Reserve officials reviewing economic conditions, inflation, employment, and financial markets to determine interest rate decisions. Market participants closely watch the meeting for signals on rate hikes, cuts, or pauses. Decisions from the FOMC can influence global markets, lending rates, and investor sentiment. Statements, projections, and press conferences following the meeting provide insights into the Fed’s economic outlook. The June 2025 FOMC meeting is especially crucial amid ongoing inflation and recession concerns.
