#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is a regular gathering of U.S. Federal Reserve officials to discuss and set monetary policy, primarily interest rates and money supply. Held about eight times a year, these meetings assess the state of the U.S. economy, considering factors like inflation, employment, and growth. The FOMC may raise, lower, or maintain the federal funds rate, impacting borrowing costs and economic activity. After each meeting, a statement is released, and often the Fed Chair holds a press conference. Markets closely watch these meetings for insights into future monetary policy and economic outlook.
