#FOMCMeeting

The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) Meeting is a key event where U.S. Federal Reserve officials set monetary policy, including interest rates. Held eight times a year, it influences economic conditions by targeting inflation, employment, and economic growth. Markets closely watch the meeting for rate decisions and the Fed’s economic outlook. A rate hike may signal inflation control, while a cut can stimulate growth. The FOMC’s statements and press conferences often move financial markets, impacting stocks, bonds, and currencies globally. Investors, economists, and policymakers use the meeting’s outcomes to adjust strategies and forecast economic trends.
