#FOMCMeeting

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is a key event where U.S. monetary policy is reviewed and set. At each meeting, the committee assesses economic indicators like inflation, employment, and GDP growth to determine interest rate decisions. If inflation is high, the FOMC may raise rates to cool spending; if growth is weak, it may cut rates to stimulate the economy. Markets closely watch the FOMC’s statements and forecasts for guidance. The June 2025 meeting maintained rates steady, signaling caution due to mixed economic data and persistent inflation, while hinting at potential rate cuts later in the year if conditions allow.
