#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event in the financial world, as it sets the direction for U.S. monetary policy. Held eight times a year, the meeting involves top officials from the Federal Reserve who discuss the current state of the economy, inflation, employment, and financial markets. One of the most closely watched outcomes is the decision on interest rates. If the FOMC raises rates, it often signals concerns about inflation. If it cuts rates, it may be aiming to support economic growth. Investors, analysts, and policymakers closely monitor the meeting’s statement and press conference for clues about future economic direction. The FOMC's decisions can influence global markets, currencies, and even crypto prices.
