#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where the Federal Reserve sets U.S. monetary policy. Officials review economic data, inflation, and employment trends to decide interest rates and other measures. Decisions aim to balance growth and price stability. Post-meeting statements and Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference provide insights into future policy moves. Markets closely watch for hints on rate cuts, hikes, or quantitative tightening. The FOMC meets eight times yearly, with outcomes influencing global markets, borrowing costs, and economic expectations. Recent focus has been on combating inflation while avoiding recession. #Economy #FederalReserve #InterestRates
