#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is decided. Held eight times a year, it determines interest rates and other economic measures to promote stable prices and employment. During the meeting, members review inflation data, employment figures, and global economic trends. Based on this analysis, they may raise, lower, or maintain the federal funds rate. The FOMC’s decisions significantly impact global financial markets, influencing stock prices, bond yields, and currency values. Investors closely monitor the FOMC’s statements and press conferences for insights into future policy direction and economic outlook.
