#FOMCMeeting
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC Meeting) is a regular meeting held by the U.S. Federal Reserve to discuss monetary policy and set interest rates. The meeting takes place eight times a year and is attended by committee members, including the Federal Reserve Chair. During the meeting, economic conditions such as inflation, growth, and unemployment are analyzed to make decisions that affect the U.S. and global economy. Investors often await this meeting due to its significant impact on financial markets, as any changes in interest rates or accompanying statements can lead to volatility in stocks and currencies. After the meeting, the Federal Reserve issues a statement summarizing its decisions, followed by a press conference that explains the future directions of monetary policy.
