#FOMCMeeting The #FOMCMeeting, held by the Federal Open Market Committee, plays a critical role in shaping U.S. monetary policy. Investors, economists, and global markets closely watch these meetings for interest rate decisions, inflation outlooks, and economic forecasts. During the meeting, the committee reviews economic indicators to decide whether to raise, lower, or maintain the federal funds rate. A hawkish stance may signal higher interest rates to curb inflation, while a dovish tone may support economic growth through lower rates. The FOMC’s decisions directly impact market volatility, investor sentiment, and currency strength, making it one of the most influential events in global finance.
