The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting of the Federal Reserve, #美联储FOMC会议 , is the core meeting that determines U.S. monetary policy. It consists of 12 members, including Federal Reserve governors and regional Federal Reserve bank presidents. It is held eight times a year, focusing on discussions of interest rate policy, economic outlook, and inflation targets, and deciding whether to adjust the federal funds rate. The FOMC's decisions directly affect borrowing costs, the stock market, the foreign exchange market, and the global economy. The policy statements, economic forecasts, and the Chairman's press conferences released after the meetings are the focus of market attention, as investors analyze this information to predict policy trends and adjust their investment strategies. The actions of the FOMC are crucial for global financial stability.
