#FOMCMeeting The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) holds eight scheduled meetings annually to determine the appropriate stance of U.S. monetary policy. At these meetings, the twelve-member committee reviews economic and financial conditions, aiming for price stability and sustainable economic growth. Their key decision is typically the target range for the federal funds rate, which influences other interest rates, credit availability, and ultimately, employment and inflation. Outcomes are closely watched by markets, as even subtle shifts can trigger significant volatility. The current meeting (June 17-18, 2025) is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, with a focus on future rate cut guidance.
